Woodridge holds moment of silence 2 years after devastating tornadoes

WOODRIDGE, Ill. - It was two years ago on Tuesday that four tornadoes ripped through the western suburbs, leaving a path of destruction.

The tornadoes struck after 11 p.m. while many people were asleep.

Eight people were hospitalized with storm-related injuries, and one Woodridge resident lost her unborn child when she was struck by a tree that crashed through the roof of her in-laws' home, where she was taking cover.

At today's event, where the community held a moment of silence in the 11 a.m. hour, they also sold t-shirts in support of those still trying to get back on their feet after the storm.
