            An EF-1 tornado began west of Halsted
            between 183rd and 187th, crossing Halsted
            and causing structural damage to a strip
            mall and several buildings in an apartment
            complex. The tornado then affected a
            neighborhood east of the strip mall, causing
            substantial tree damage as well as some roof
            damage to a handful of homes. The tornado
            uprooted and snapped numerous trees across a
            cemetery off of Glenwood Thornton Rd before
            continuing east through the Thornton-Lansing
            Road Nature Preserve. The tornado dissipated
            just east of 394 south of Thornton-Lansing
