...NWS DAMAGE SURVEY FOR 9/3/2019 BEACH PARK/WAUKEGAN AREA TORNADO...
.National Weather Service staff on Wednesday surveyed the storm
damage from Tuesday evening in far north Waukegan. With the
assistance of Lake County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) and
Waukegan EMA, along with trained spotter reports, we were able to
conclude a brief tornado occurred before moving over the lake.

Damage from the tornado was minor to commercial buildings and
residences, including windows blown out, minor roof damage, fence
destruction, and damage to a gas station canopy. There was a
vehicle flipped just east of the intersection of York House Road
and Lewis Avenue where the one minor injury occurred. Numerous
trees felled or experienced heavy branch damage. The tornado was
at its widest and strongest in the latter half of its path.
The one mile stretch between the last damage point and the lake
shore was unable to be surveyed due to a nature area. A
waterspout was reported just off shore and so by interpolation we
took the tornado path to the lakefront.
