Authorities said least eight people were injured and at least 225 structures were damaged, many severely, from a tornado that tore through Naperville, Woodridge and Darien late Sunday. Meteorologists said the damage was consistent with an EF-3 tornado on the Enhanced Fujita scale, meaning it had wind speeds of 136 to 165 mph. “We suspect it was one tornado,” said Matt Friedlein, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “We don’t know that for certain, but based on the nature of the information and what we know about the character of this event, that’s what we’re leaning toward.”The weather service said it was the first significant tornado to hit the Chicago metropolitan area since 2015, when an EF-3 tornado ravaged Coal City, about 60 miles southwest of the city.On the ground, signs of the tornado’s might were everywhere. A fence post was driven through a roof like a javelin. A backyard trampoline, metal frame and all, was wrapped around the branches of a tall tree. One car was flipped on its roof, while another nearby was so damaged it looked as though it had been bombed.The tornado sirens began blaring in DuPage County at 10:48 p.m. Sunday, according to Woodridge police. The National Weather Service said emergency alerts also screeched on mobile devices in Naperville, Darien and Woodridge, with the goal of waking any sleepers.When the tornado formed, it first hit Naperville about 11:10 p.m., in the area just south of 75th Street and Ranchview Drive in the southeast section of the town, according to Linda LaCloche, spokeswoman for the Naperville city manager’s office. Sixteen homes were deemed uninhabitable by city engineers, she said.At least 125 damage reports came from Naperville alone, Schultz said.

Otherwise, you could notify the couple about the results of your online searches, without attaching any judgment at all to your notification: “When I was looking for your online registry, the following sites came up in my search.

Wells was outspoken about the racism, segregation and mistreatment of Black people in America. She educated the public about the issues of education, lynchings, women’s suffrage and much more. In a 1892 speech, she famously said, “The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.”
The two of you don’t seem particularly equipped to be in a family together, but you could improve your homelife, your marriage, and your parenting skills by enlisting the expertise of a family counselor who specializes in blended families. If your marriage fails, unfortunately, the children will pay the price.
Dear Upset: Over the course of most marriages, partners don’t reflexively share all of their outside communications with one another, but you and your husband are at an inflection point, and a marriage counselor might suggest that your husband share his texts with you as a way to establish – or re-establish – trust. Oftentimes, this sort of transparency is an important step in moving forward.
The roots of the red twig dogwood are fibrous, which makes transplanting relatively easy and can help stabilize banks. It will be best to wait until this fall to move your shrub, as many plants are under stress now due to the heat and dry conditions. The shrub is small enough to transplant now, if it was in more of an emergency situation, such as moving it out of the way of construction. Water the shrub thoroughly a couple days before moving it, should you decide to relocate it soon.
The insect responsible (Olethreutes ferriferana) becomes a small moth in its adult form. In spring, the moth lays eggs on the branches. An egg hatches into a small caterpillar that weaves together the edges of an unfurling leaf to make a safe hiding place. Inside, the caterpillar will grow while feeding on the surrounding leaves and the developing flower buds. In summer, the caterpillar drops to the ground, where it turns into a pupa, overwinters and develops into next spring’s adult moth.
I recently freaked out by discovering that my cousin is my half-sister. When I looked into it, I learned that this is a common issue. Reading the very fine print on the DNA testing contract, I saw that it is to be used “for entertainment purposes, only.”
