At least five people were injured, including one critically, and a dozen homes were damaged in a possible tornado outbreak in Illinois on Sunday, officials said. The tornado first hit Naperville at around 11.10 p.m. on Sunday night, injuring the five persons. Sixteen homes have been deemed uninhabitable by city engineers and at least 10 people have been displaced. At least 125 home damage reports had come in from Naperville alone.

"The tornado travelled east to the Lemont Road area of Woodridge. The Village of Woodridge is assisting those affected by the tornado and assessing the damage," Woodridge police spokesman Jim Hoff said on Monday. There's evidence the tornado also touched down in Darien, said Matt Friedlein, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. Residents near Darien and Burr Ridge, about 20 miles southwest of Chicago, had been urged to take cover around 11.15 p.m.

The threat for wind damage remained for a few hours as the line of storms moved over northern Illinois and into northwestern Indiana, until 2 a.m. on Monday when the severe threat was declared over. The tornado launched debris more than 10,000 feet into the atmosphere with possible wind speeds of 135 miles per hour, according to the National Weather Service.
