An out-of-town Father's Day celebration might have saved a Colfax family from today's storms. Neighbors tell WJBC, Scott Tongate and his family were in Saybrook visiting family when the roof was torn off by high winds.

It's not clear if a tornado caused the damage. But, Emergency Management Director for the Village of Colfax, Randy Clark, says crews are investigating the area to assess the damage.

A tire store in Colfax also had part of its roof torn off, and downed trees damaged houses and blocked roadways across the county. Hawk says there were no injuries reported. On Monday, the National Weather Service will determine if there was a tornado touchdown in Colfax.

The McLean County EMA had numerous reports of trees down in the Lake Bloomington area. The Village of Hudson is asking residents to place debris near the street as crews will make their rounds throughout the week.

There was quarter-inch to nickle-sized hail in that area. Woodford County emergency officials say they clocked a wind gust of 71 miles-an-hour in Goodfield where there are trees and limbs down. A tree also fell on a house in Eureka, but no one was injured.
