The tornado's winds peaked at 80 mph, as it traveled a 25-yard wide path along a 2.2-mile stretch crossing the Elgin-O'Hare Expreessway.
The National Weather Service confirmed Tuesday evening that an EF-0 tornado -- the weakest on a six-level scale -- touched down in west suburban Roselle as a powerful storm ripped through the Chicago area on Monday.
Survey teams investigating the damaged caused by severe thunderstorms in Cook and DuPage counties determined a brief EF-0 tornado touched down in unincorporated Schaumburg and moved into Roselle before lifting just shy of Medinah. A storm survey completed by the NWS this afternoon, confirms an EF-0 tornado touched down 2 miles south of Schaumburg and traveled 2 miles south to Roselle on Monday evening. The tornado was on the ground for 5 mins, starting at 6:27pm.
