He adds that surveys of where the reports were made and for damage will not be conducted until Tuesday. There were no immediate reports of injuries. The weather service website says a tornado was seen by weather spotters at 5:32 p.m. about 7 miles northeast of Rochelle in Ogle County. About four minutes earlier, radar confirmed a tornado near Hampshire in Kane County. There were tornado reports in other counties as well.
