Nearly 400 homes in suburban Woodridge were damaged in a tornado that tore through the area on Sunday night, with more than two dozen homes considered to be a “complete loss,” according to officials.
According to a press release sent out Wednesday, officials have completed approximately 90% of their damage assessment from Sunday’s storm, which spawned an EF-3 tornado that hit multiple communities, including Woodridge.
A total of 28 homes are considered to be a “complete loss” after the storms, according to officials. A total of 156 homes in the community suffered “major damage,” meaning that repairs to the homes will require a building permit to address.
