HOPEDALE, Ill. – Scattered showers and thunderstorms left some damage at least in one part of the area Friday night.
The National Weather Service had put our part of Central Illinois under a Level 2 potential for severe weather as storms fired up during the early evening hours. But virtually no problems were reported, except in Tazewell County.
A three-sided parking garage near the Hopedale Medical Complex and village hall there collapsed, according to emergency managers and 25 News.
The Weather Service had a 62-mile-per-hour thunderstorm wind gust reported in Delavan.
Downed trees or branches were reported in some parts of Tazewell and Fulton Counties, as well as rural McLean County.
No one was hurt so far.
