(AP) - More springlike storms are possible today across the Midwest.
At least two deaths are reported in Missouri after a January warm spell triggered a tornado outbreak.
In McHenry County in northern Illinois, about 500 people fled their homes after a suspected tornado knocked over rail cars carrying hazardous materials.
Several homes were destroyed in Poplar Grove, Illinois, where authorities rescued motorists trapped by downed, live electrical lines and crews searched damaged structures to make sure no one was trapped. Three people suffered minor injuries.
A tornado also ripped through Wisconsin's Kenosha County. Authorities report 11 houses in Wheatland were destroyed but there were no serious injuries. The sheriff calls that a miracle.
