Woodridge residents forced to move out of condo because tornado damage might lead to frozen pipes

50 families in a Woodridge condo complex are being forced to move out because of lingering tornado damage.

About 50 families in a suburban condo complex are being forced to move because tornado damage might lead to frozen water pipes.

The residents of Woodridge Country Club Townhomes have been told that they need to move by December 17.

Some of the condo complex's buildings were damaged by the June 20 tornado, and remain in various states of repair. There are concerns that water pipes could freeze and burst, so all the water is being turned off.
