Public Information Statement National Weather Service Chicago IL 625 PM CDT Sun May 24 2020 /725 PM EDT Sun May 24 2020/ ...PRELIMINARY SUMMARY OF THE 5/23/20 SEVERE WEATHER EVENT... .OVERVIEW...During the afternoon and early evening of Saturday, May 23, there was scattered severe weather across northern Illinois and northwest Indiana. Some of the most pronounced damage was in the far southwest Chicago suburbs occurring in the mid-afternoon. .MINOOKA AREA TORNADO... Rating: EF-0 Estimated Peak Wind: 85 mph Path length /Statute/: 6.3 miles Path width /Maximum/: 100 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 1 Start date: 5/23/20 Start time: 2:53 P.M. CDT Start location: 3 miles west-northwest of Minooka Start Lat/Lon: 41.4535 / -88.3269 End date: 5/23/20 End time: 3:07 P.M. CDT End Location: 2.5 miles south of Shorewood End lat/lon: 41.4800 / -88.2106 SUMMARY: The tornado appeared to develop near I-80 about a mile west of the Minooka exit. The tornado was likely responsible for blowing over a car on I-80 resulting in an injury. The tornado then went on to down at least two wooden utility poles, about a half dozen large trees, and numerous large branches. Trained spotter reports helped to further clarify this was tornado damage. There was also some spotty wind damage just north of the tornado in a subdivision, and just south within the town of Minooka. .CHANA AREA TORNADO... Rating: EF-1 Estimated Peak Wind: 100 mph Path length /Statute/: 0.3 miles Path width /Maximum/: 100 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start date: 5/23/20 Start time: 4:30 P.M. CDT Start location: 1 mile southwest of Chana Start Lat/Lon: 41.97 / -89.24 End date: 5/23/20 End time: 4:32 P.M. CDT End Location: 1 mile southwest of Chana End lat/lon: 41.97 / -89.24 SUMMARY: An EF-1 tornado began at approximately 430 PM CDT on May 23rd near the intersection of S Rocky Hollow Rd. and E. Canfield Rd. Peak winds were estimated at 90-100 mph based on damage to outbuildings at two farmsteads that were significantly damaged. There were also several trees and power poles downed. Eyewitness accounts and damage photos provided by Ogle County Emergency Management provided key survey information. .HAMPSHIRE/GENOA AREA TORNADO... Rating: EF-0 Estimated Peak Wind: 85 mph Path length /Statute/: 3.2 miles Path width /Maximum/: 50 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start date: 5/23/20 Start time: 6:06 P.M. CDT Start location: 4 miles northeast of Genoa Start Lat/Lon: 42.14 / -88.63 End date: 5/23/20 End time: 6:16 P.M. CDT End Location: 4 miles north-northwest of Hampshire End lat/lon: 42.15 / -88.57 SUMMARY: The tornado began near the intersection of Polk Rd and Melms Rd where a barn was damaged with debris from the barn blown downstream into a field. The tornado continued moving east northeast for a little over 3 miles downing power lines along its path. The tornado dissipated before reaching I-90. EF0...Weak......65 to 85 mph EF1...Weak......86 tO 110 mph EF2...Strong....111 To 135 mph EF3...Strong....136 to 165 mph EF4...Violent...166 To 200 mph EF5...Violent...>200 mph .SHOREWOOD THUNDERSTORM DOWNBURST... Estimated Peak Wind: 75-95 mph Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start date: 5/23/20 Start time: 3:04 P.M. CDT End date: 5/23/20 End time: 3:07 P.M. CDT SUMMARY: At least two dozen large trees were downed, including some snapped, in residential Shorewood along and near Seil Street. This includes large trees down along the DuPage River. This tree damage was concentrated and intense, with all trees laying in an easterly direction, evidence for a strong downburst (microburst). .JOLIET THUNDERSTORM DOWNBURSTS... Estimated Peak Wind: 75-95 mph Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start date: 5/23/20 Start time: 3:12 P.M. CDT End date: 5/23/20 End time: 3:28 P.M. CDT SUMMARY: Many dozen large trees downed across Joliet including in its downtown. There was also wind damage to multiple roofs most notably much of the roof lifted off and thrown from a downtown building. This entire damage area was most likely due to a series of downbursts given its large footprint, reports over a fairly lengthy duration, and corroborating radar data as the organized severe thunderstorms moved through. NOTE: The information in this statement is PRELIMINARY and subject to change pending final review of the event and publication in NWS Storm Data. Thank you to our trained storm spotters and Emergency Management Agency partners for their helpful damage reports. $$ Friedlein/Bardou
