Near Kewanee, a corn crib was destroyed and a barn roof was mostly ripped off. <br /><br />Also, the National Weather Service office in Chicago reports that the twister that touched down Monday afternoon in Caledonia, Illinois, (near Rockford), was an EF-2 tornado with winds of about 135 miles-per-hour. It was on the ground for about 16.4 miles and, at times, was 200 yards wide."<br />11-24-2010 DianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
