Tree Lifts Garage as It's Uprooted by Chicago Storm

Trees were uprooted and power was cut for large numbers of people after a destructive derecho storm that included at least one tornado blew through Chicago on August 10.

The National Weather Service urged residents to take cover as a dangerous line of storms that included winds of more than 70 mph hit the city.
