High Winds, Flooding Cause Damage Across Chicago, Northwest Indiana

Monday, February 26th, 2018 Property

High winds caused damage throughout the Chicago area Saturday night. Gusts were over 50 miles per hour in some locations. The wind may have contributed to the partial collapse of a building on the 1700 block of Simpson Street in Evanston. Officials said the building was under construction. "We have cordoned the area off, we have the building department structural engineer for the city coming out to investigate," said Evanston Fire Department Division Chief Dwight Hohl. "We’ll get some other city departments here with some equipment so we can start clearing this up and also do an investigation."
