Dramatic timelapse video captures a violent storm tearing across Lena, Illinois Friday evening. 

Strong to severe storms could bring hail, heavy rainfall and even twisters to the Chicago area on Friday, with several counties under a tornado watch until 8 p.m.

After an afternoon of summer-like temperatures in the 70s and even 80s, storms and showers are expected to roll in around 5 p.m.
