SYCAMORE – A portion of Somonauk Street remains closed Wednesday afternoon after a downed tree fell on a home in the 1200 block of Somonauk Street in Sycamore following another night of severe thunderstorms.
Somonauk Street is closed in the 1200 block between Arbor and Becker streets in Sycamore as crews work to clear debris and trees which fell following high winds and rain Tuesday night, a day after several tornadoes ripped through the county, the most severe just outside Sycamore, an EF-1.
