A tornado warning expired at 7:45 pm for Joliet, Bolingbrook, Romeoville and western Will County, but the National Weather Service says the storm remains “dangerous.”

“This storm continues to exhibit rotation, and is still potentially a very dangerous storm,” the NWS posted on its Facebook page. We’re seeing heavy winds, lightning, showers and hail.
