Two-year anniversary of Naperville Tornado
Today, June 20, marks two years since an EF-3 tornado swept through the Naperville and Woodridge area, damaging more than 130 homes in the process.
Some of those homeowners are still cleaning up, as small pieces of glass, metal, and other debris got embedded within the soil in their yards. The removal of those particles is not covered by insurance. To help in those efforts, the State of Illinois awarded a $1 million grant in January.
At tonight’s Naperville City Council meeting, the group will vote on a resolution to kick in up to $500,000 more for those clean-up efforts. Those funds would be administered through the Muthusami Paravel Foundation within the Naperville Tornado Relief Fund for environmental yard clean-up and landscape remediation of Naperville homes which were affected.
