CHICAGO — National Weather Service teams were surveying storm damage Thursday in the Chicago area and northeast Illinois, where fierce winds from suspected tornadoes ripped roofs from buildings, downed trees and sent residents scrambling for safety as sirens sounded. The weather service warned Wednesday evening that a confirmed tornado was on the ground near Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. Passengers took shelter and the storm disrupted hundreds of flights, but there were no reports of injuries.
