this is illinois. residents near chicago woke tuesday morning to a swath of destruction in the rural community. a tornado rolled through the town late monday. local officials are reporting at least five injuries but none are life threatening, fortunately. some 20,000 homes also lost power, though, in the area due to downed power lines. tornadoes were also reported in other parts of illinois and also iowa and michigan due to the severe weather outbreak. the town of coal city was hit by a tornado in november of 2013 resulting in significant damage and so it's only a couple of years since then and people are digging out after this mess. right now high pressure system is predominant, so things are a little bit clearer and the

yorkville, illinois has been rocked by the sensational charges. the allegations aren't from his time as one of the most powerful men in washington but from four decades earlier. the pages of this 1968 yearbook show hastert as a popular teacher who enjoys athletics and working with young people. the name of the person receiving hush money has not been disclosed. but the sister of another former student has accused hastert of sexually abusing her brother, an equipment manager on the wrestlingwrestle ing team. >> i asked him, when was your first same sex experience? he looked at me and said it was with dennis hastert, and i just -- i know i was stunned. i said why didn't you ever tell anybody, stevie? he just looked at me and said who is ever going to believe me in this town, who is ever going to believe me. >> the house will come to order. >> hastert is not charged with sexual misconduct the statute of limitations on any such allegations would have long expired. he faces these two counts. illegally structuring bank withdrawals in payments made to a

host: from springfield, illinois. going back to her need for money, abraham lincoln was a very successful lawyer in springfield. he worked the railroads and made quite a bit of money. what was his income? guest: that is a great point. it is interesting. if you go back and look at the accounts, her money seems to be something that started with washington. there are friends and neighbors that talk about how thrifty she was. what a good housekeeper she was during his legal days. we talked about it a little bit already, she was a national figure representing people. people were condescending to her and her husband. she had a place of status and an appearance to maintain. i think it was as simple as that. i think it got out of hand. $85,000 was in his estate at the time of his death. his widow would inherit 1/3. you would think that she was in debt $27,000. host: she got duplicates, hundreds sometimes, of parasols and things. guest: that is true, that is the nature. over time, it became more pronounced that she would go an

carol, any indication in illinois as to why this indictment? because the statue of limitations had run on whatever happened back in the day, doesn't this seem like a very strange indictment when you really read through it? >> it does indeed. stranger andrea by the fact we have no hastert narrative yet offered to counter it. we don't know who his official lawyer is at this moment. we don't know his court date. so what we are left with basically is total amazement in illinois. there may have been some people who understood quietly that hastert may have had some secret part of his life. i don't know them. the ones i was calling when the indictment came down were utterly shocked. >> pete when i think of dennis hastert, you think back to the time when newt gringrich resigns. and all of a sudden hastert no one neuter bli well supposed to be beyond approach. he leaves congress with a lot of money and goes to make more money. if anything people thought there would be ethical question about his farm land whether he earmarked highway money near the farm

but the next system is in illinois already. there's nothing severe but there may be some heavy rain in parts of the area. by tomorrow night. and this is what happened late yesterday. there's this line of thunderstorms. as it came through the philadelphia area see it started bowing, as we call it. and when you have a bow echo, see this again, a little bit rounded. the wind right at the bow there. that's the strongest wind. that's where most of the damage was. from chester county through delaware county through gloucester county and out toward ocean county. well, right now things are pretty quiet. 76 degrees, low humidity. it's nice and comfortable. and it's in the 70s even in southern delaware. so as we go through the day today, temperatures getting into the mid-80s but low humidity relatively warm. we have those showers coming in tomorrow night, but also some rain affecting the weekend too. the forecast is coming up in just a few minutes. >> we'll see you then glenn. >>> up next date with death. a date that could help with clos

additionally, judge durkin's brother jim durkin is the current republican leader of the illinois house of representatives. the judge brought all of this to everybody's attention in court today, not that any of it needed to be. i don't think he said anything that hasn't been previously reported since the case was assigned to him. but he's giving each side an opportunity to basically say whether or not they think the case should remain with him. he acknowledged that he could be disqualified from this case. he's giving both sides an opportunity to waiving that disqualification. and we should know by the end of this week whether either side will want to do so. the judge said that he set up a process so that he will not know which party or if either party declined to waive the conflict. >> jon seidel, chicago sun timed, thanks so much for coming >> wooduff: tonight, we are launching a series of

on to circulation as you can see circulation with that system as it moves into portions of southern illinois. this is going to really move across northeast into the weekend and get here by late saturday night into sunday.

he was a lawyer in central illinois. had a lot cracked this in central illinois and he moved -- he had a law practice in central and illinois and he moved. he went to visit an old friend from a law school in chicago. and he saw where lincoln and the state of nebraska, which was just booming, he saw a week democratic party, so he sought some opportunities there. they would drive out into the country in a buggy and they fell in love with the house. construction was started in 1901. but then construction was finished in 1903. 11,000 square feet. mrs. brian's budget was $10,000. she may have spent as much as $17,000. it's a beautiful house. the main area was used for political events, receptions etc. they would host a number of data even world leaders would come here, but all kinds of political leaders. i guess the most prominent woodrow wilson came out here to get bryan 's support for the 1912 convention. which he did get his support. there were a lot of national and international leaders that would stop by and see him. rig

chicago, illinois. illinois politicians have been going to prison for years. four of those -- >> yes. >> four of the last eight governors including blagojevich and ryan. why so many illinois politicians ending up in the slammer? >> well everyone you mentioned with the mention of hastert got in trouble more what they did when they were in office. and why so many? i've spent my career trying to figure out what one generation of politicians doesn't learn from the people who proceeded them. i mean right now, there's a grand jury investigating now former congressman aaron shuck. former congressman jesse jackson in the halfway house in baltimore. his wife of former alderman ready to go to prison. the most current crop we have. so i don't know. obviously doesn't speak well of illinois and what is remarkable about this case is that the -- the sensational aspect of this the alleged sexual misconduct happened before denny hastert ever became a politician. >> right. yeah, i think that's a fair point. based on what we know seems much more a case of entered politics with a
