Illinois remains in effect until 11 p.m.

Two of those tornados hit Elmwood four minutes apart, causing what

Officials there said there were no apparent injuries or fatalities as
of 9:30 p.m.

Tornados also touched down in Peoria, Hanna City, Washington and East
Peoria. Damage reports from those twisters we not immediately available.
