A late afternoon storm that prompted tornado sirens to go off across portions of Kendall, Grundy and most of Will County Wednesday afternoon has left trees and power lines down across the area.

City of Joliet spokesperson Sydney Thompson said, “There are multiple damage reports, including downed trees and power outages. The storm affected the entire city. We are still assessing the scope of the damage.”

The Joliet Police Department said it is responding to “multiple incidents related to the weather” and road hazards caused by trees and wires down due to the storm.

“If you are out driving, please use caution if you come across a road hazard and be prepared to use an alternate route. City departments (Police, Fire, Streets) are responding to incidents as quickly & safely as possible,” the police department said.

The city of Lockport reported that Public Works Department crews were out clearing trees from roads.

The weather and storm damage led the Joliet Public Schools District 86 to cancel its regular Board of School Inspectors meeting that was scheduled for Wednesday night.

The meeting will be rescheduled at a future date, the district said.
