Massive storms in Chicago

House Hit By Lightning, Engulfed in Flames
In the midst of a storm, lightning struck a house in the Chicago suburb of Lemont. The home to a family of four caught fire and was soon engulfed in flames.

An unusually massive line of storms packing hail, lightning and tree-toppling winds was rolling through the Midwest on Wednesday the 12th and could affect more than one in five Americans from Iowa to Maryland. (AP)
