These videos reveal the devastation left by a tornado which ripped through the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, on Sunday night [June 20, 2021].

Multiple injuries have been reported and more than 225 homes were badly damaged, while many trees, cars and power lines were also destroyed.

Residents described the sound to be "like a sonic boom" as debris was sent flying around 10,000 feet into the air.

Two people were left in critical condition and at least eight other people were injured with around 22 homes left “uninhabitable".

About 450 power outages and several gas leaks were reported after the tornado hit at about 11pm on Sunday, with crews working door-to-door to switch off the supply.

No fatalities have been reported so far.

“We’re lucky that it wasn’t worse,” said spokeswoman Linda LaCloche.

“We have a lot of utility poles and electrical wires down, and tree damage.”

According to the National Weather Service the twister hit the Naperville, Woodridge and Darien areas, moving from west to east on the radar.

Meteorologists suspect the tornado was an EF-2 with wind speeds of between 111 and 135 mph, but this is yet to be confirmed.

Naperville Fire Chief Mark Puknaitis told the Chicago Tribune that is was “truly amazing” no one died and that no fires erupted from the leaking natural gas.

This video was filmed on the 20th June 2021.
