Tornado strikes Illinois, leave at least two dead and homes destroyed

#Fairdale #Tornado #Illinois #BruceRauner A storm in Illinois has killed two people in the town of Fairdale and has destroyed at least a dozen homes by sweeping them from their foundations – the storm system rumbled through the US Midwest. Many persons have been injured in the storm as reported in news.sky.com dated 10 April 2015.
One of the dead woman was killed in her home while the body of the other woman was discovered during a "secondary search".

The town of Fairdale was basically a farming community of about 150 residents and is located 75 miles (120km) from Chicago. Due to the storm, the power had to be cut off and the residents had to be evacuated.
One of the residents had taken shelter in a stairwell as the twister sent the upstairs crashing into the living room and simultaneously demolished the north wall. She had got the property renovated at a cost of $50,000 and watched it destroyed.
Damage had also been reported from Rochelle which is another small town about 80 miles (130km) west of Chicago. Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner had visited the town of Fairdale to survey the damages and get firsthand information. As a result of the storm, nearly 900 flights were cancelled at O'Hare International Airport and Chicago Midway International Airport.
