With many still cleaning up debris and working to restore power following a night of intense winds and storms, the Chicago area was again battered by severe weather Thursday.

Multiple confirmed tornadoes were reported in Streator and in Dwight, sparking warnings in LaSalle, Grundy and Kankakee counties.

A large and damaging tornado also made its way through Lake and Porter counties in Indiana, according to officials.
