National Weather Service confirms two tornadoes as the Chicago region cleans up

National Weather Service workers confirmed that an EF-1 tornado hit Lansing as severe thunderstorms ripped across Chicagoland and northwest Indiana on Monday, pelting the region with up to 4 inches of rain and tennis ball-sized hail. The weather survey crews also confirmed an EF-0 tornado swept through Glen Ellyn.

Monday’s storms were part of severe weather this summer, with hope that August may bring some relief

Extreme weather is nothing new to the region, but the number and intensity of storms this year has been unusual, experts say. Illinois had already set a record for tornadoes in a year, with 220 confirmed through Monday — more than twice as much as any other state. The state has also suffered nine “significant” weather events this year, the National Weather Service reported, the most in the past decade.

The new law requires districts without an existing phone policy to adopt a “bell-to-bell” ban for elementary and middle school students. High school students may use phones during breaks at the discretion of individual districts.

Save-A-Lot closures prompt Mayor Brandon Johnson to call for new grocers at shuttered stores

Mayor Brandon Johnson said the city hopes to find a new operator for the Yellow Banana stores that closed abruptly over the weekend on Chicago’s South and West sides, potentially including the long-awaited arrival of a public market.

Speaking to reporters from City Hall, the mayor said despite the “disappointing” shuttering of the stores reported last week by the Tribune, he still wants to see some form of a grocery store in those locations, most of which received taxpayer-funded grants under former Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
