I remember the Belvidere tornado. I didn't live in Belvidere, just north of there. Weren't there some other tornados that day too? Lake Zurich sticks in my mind.
Yep. Lake Zurich and Oak Lawn. One person was killed in Lake Zurich, more than 30 in Oak Lawn. That is probably the closest that a tornado of that size has come to the city of Chicago. Here is the best source that I have found yet: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/Image/lot/severe/21Apr1967_tornado.pdf
The discussion about the lake breeze is particularly interesting.
