Deadly Illinois Tornadoes Cause Roof Collapses at Belvidere Venues

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker visited the site of a deadly Belvidere roof collapse that killed one person and injured 48 others during a sold-out concert at the Apollo Theatre on Friday evening. The National Weather Service confirmed 12 tornadoes in Illinois on Friday, including an EF-1 tornado in the Davis Junction-Belvidere area. The theater's marquee and facade crashed onto State Street, littering the area with bricks and debris as first responders scrambled to help the wounded. The intense storm cell hit the Belvidere area around 7:45 p.m., with winds in excess of 50 mph.
