Wind damage at Peotone Monday night, part of an 8 mile long, 3 mile wide swath of damage

Electricity was still out late Wednesday for some residents of south-suburban Peotone, Illinois--an area hard hit by Monday evening's powerful storms. Bill Schreiber, who shot these photos and shares them with us, reports the Village of Peotone sustained quite a bit of damage and that a survey reveals damage occurred along a path 8 miles long and 3 miles wide. Included here among Bill's photos is damage sustained at a grain elevator five miles northwest of Peotone.
