Severe storms cause widespread damage in multiple states.

The City of Rockford is cleaning up widespread tree damage across the city after severe thunderstorms. Residents can take storm damage and debris to a drop-off site. The National Weather Service is assessing if the damage was caused by a tornado or damaging straight-line winds. Cleanup efforts will likely continue throughout the next week due to the extent of the damage. Downed power lines are being addressed by ComEd, Comcast, and AT&T.
