Tornado Touches Down in Joliet, IL

A rare weather event occurred this evening when a tornado touched down in Joliet.  A quick moving storm rolled through town and completely destroyed JD Tower in Joliet.  Crews were cleaning up along the right away where they had been working to install double track and a new crossing.  A large vacuum dropped from the sky sucking the tower clear off the map! Luckily, no one was injured as the tower was unoccupied due to the construction taking place.  Damage reports are expected to reach the hundreds of thousands!
