据官员称，周二芝加哥南部发生的一场大型龙卷风刮倒了树木和电线，并使911指挥中心因紧急呼叫而应接不暇。与此同时，在印第安纳州西北部，另一场疑似龙卷风也造成了重大破坏。
伊利诺伊州警察发言人杰梅·巴福德警官表示，龙卷风在坎卡基县地区（距芝加哥约47.5英里）登陆，并对坎卡基市南部造成重大破坏。坎卡基县 sheriff办公室称，龙卷风向东北方向移动至阿罗玛公园，在那里造成了更多破坏。目前尚无人员受伤报告。
CBS新闻芝加哥气象学家凯尔西·米勒在坎卡基县现场报道称，她目睹了严重的破坏情况。
社交媒体上分享的一段视频显示，龙卷风席卷了机场附近的一片农田，路上停满了车辆。
美国国家气象局表示，强烈风暴可能从南部平原到南部五大湖地区带来强烈龙卷风、破坏性大风和特大冰雹。从德克萨斯州到密歇根州的多个州均处于龙卷风预警状态。
伊利诺伊州和印第安纳州超过200万美国人面临中度严重天气风险。近2200万人处于稍低风险区域，该区域包括芝加哥、德克萨斯州沃思堡和俄克拉荷马州俄克拉荷马城。
在印第安纳州牛顿县（紧邻州界），另一场明显的龙卷风袭击了莱克维尔的几所房屋并造成人员受伤，印第安纳州警察埃里克·罗特中士称。
他无法提供受伤人数或伤者情况。
“我们仍处于应急响应状态，”他表示。
牛顿县 sheriff香农·科思特伦在社交媒体视频中证实，多个房屋被摧毁，”破坏严重”。
“莱克维尔遭受直接袭击，请远离该地区，”莱克镇消防局长罗布·丘奇尔说。
就在几天前，密歇根州和俄克拉荷马州上周因强风暴引发至少三场龙卷风，已造成至少6人死亡。

Suspected tornadoes damage homes and knock down trees, power lines in Illinois, Indiana

A large tornado south of Chicago downed trees and power lines Tuesday and overwhelmed the 911 center with emergency calls, according to officials, while a second suspected tornado also caused significant damage in northwest Indiana.
The tornado struck down in the Kankakee County area, about 47.5 miles south of Chicago, and caused major damage on the south side of Kankakee City, according to Trooper Jayme Bufford, a spokesperson for Illinois State Police. It traveled northeast into Aroma Park, where it caused more damage, according to the Kankakee County Sheriff’s Office. No injuries have been reported.
CBS News Chicago meteorologist Kylee Miller, reporting from Kankakee County, said she could see significant damage.
In a video shared on social media, the twister is seen ripping across a field of farmland near an airport while vehicles lined the road.
Severe storms were threatening to bring intense tornadoes, damaging winds and very large hail from the southern Plains to the southern Great Lakes, according to the National Weather Service. States from Texas to Michigan were under tornado watches.
More than 2 million Americans were at a moderate risk of severe weather in Illinois and Indiana. Nearly 22 million were at a slightly lesser risk in a zone that includes Chicago, Fort Worth, Texas and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Just over the Indiana state line in Newton County, another apparent tornado hit several houses in Lake Village and caused injuries, according to Indiana State Police Cpl. Eric Rot.
He was not able to provide the number of people injured or their condition.
“We’re still in emergency response mode,” he said.
In a video on social media, Newton County officials confirmed multiple homes were destroyed and there was “a lot of damage,” Newton County Sheriff Shannon Cothran said.
“Lake Village took a direct hit, please stay away from the area,” said Rob Churchill, Lake Township Fire chief.
This comes just days after at least six people were killed last week in Michigan and Oklahoma after powerful storms produced at least three tornadoes.
