Power of hurricanes reach into mid central Illinois with potential wind damage..so says NWS

Very windy Friday due to #Helene's remnants, especially for areas near/south of Kankakee River. Northeast winds this strong may cause tree damage & power outages. Secure loose objects. Take care when driving in open/exposed areas, especially in high profile vehicles. #ILwx #INwx pic.twitter.com/Esim0tdlhj
