Severe Storms Cause Widespread Damage Across Regions

Severe storms over the weekend caused significant damage across multiple regions, including Tennessee, Pittsburgh, New York, and Illinois, with numerous buildings losing roofs due to high winds. In Allons, Tennessee, the Fellowship Baptist Church's Family Life Center had its roof ripped off, pausing community outreach programs until repairs are completed. Similarly, the First United Methodist Church in Elgin, Illinois, lost a large portion of its copper roof, causing water damage; fortunately, no injuries were reported among the approximately 60 people sheltering in its basement. The National Weather Service is assessing whether a tornado was responsible for the Elgin damage. An industrial building in DeWitt, New York, also lost part of its roof, but no injuries occurred. Community support has been notable, with locals offering assistance in cleanup and repair efforts.
