The weather backpedaled from June to February over tis this St. Patrick's Day weekend — with some storm damage in between. A church in Elgin, Illinois northwest of Chicago sustained especially heavy damage during storms that hit early Saturday morning.

A Friday night storm strong enough to rip the roof off First United Methodist Church in downtown Elgin will be evaluated as a possible tornado by the National Weather Service, officials said.

Severe winds and storms overnight left a trail of damage across the Chicago area and in parts of Illinois. The far west suburbs followed tornado warnings in Dupage, Kendall, Kane, and Dekalb counties.

Many communities will have a lot of clean-up ahead in the coming hours, especially as the sun comes up and the damage becomes more visible.
