On July 12, 2023 at approximately 6:30pm a tornado (eventually rated as an EF2) crossed LaGrange Road (U.S. 45) from neighboring Countryside. It caused tree damage in the Theodore Stone Forest Preserve. Structures along the path of the storm that were affected included Salerno's Restaurant, Ettleson Cadillac, The Quarry Shopping Mall (including Walmart, Kohl's, and Ross), Republic Bank, Menards, and Target. As it crossed East Avenue, it damaged D & S Truck Sales, and structures on Lenzi Avenue before spinning into the Vulcan Quarry. It eventually headed East, into neighboring McCook.
