Burr Ridge Was In Tornado's Path: National Weather Service

BURR RIDGE, IL – The National Weather Service's ground survey team confirmed a tornado went from Burr Ridge to Stickney on Wednesday night.

The tornado's winds could have reached a speed of 110 mph, the National Weather Service said in a tweet. In the tornado's path, numerous trees snapped and were uprooted, and several businesses saw major damage, the agency said.

Tornadoes usually go from the southwest to the northeast. That was apparently the case with the latest one. Stickney is about nine miles to Burr Ridge's northeast.

It was unclear where the tornado was in Burr Ridge. But in a statement Wednesday night, the village said the most local damage was near 73rd and 74th streets, between Forest Hill and Wolf roads.

In an email to Patch, Burr Ridge Village Administrator Evan Walter said, "The Village is not aware of any Burr Ridge business being significantly affected by the storm, aside from possible temporary power loss."
