That included a supercell thunderstorm that tracked from near Kankakee in northern Illinois to near Knox in northern Indiana. That system probably spawned several destructive tornadoes along its path and produced potentially record-large hailstones that were five to six inches in diameter — denting cars and smashing windshields.

"We have multiple homes destroyed. Lake Village took a direct hit," said the Newton County Sheriff's Office in Indiana Tuesday night.
