Residents of Belvidere, Illinois, have shared photos and videos showing storm damage across the city, as a Severe Thunderstorm<\/a> Watch remains in effect. The visuals show multiple downed trees and debris scattered in several neighborhoods. Some residents said it felt like a tornado had touched down. However, the National Weather Service (NWS) has not confirmed any tornado<\/a> activity, and no tornado sirens were reported during the storm.
One resident reported on Facebook, \u201cTree down on W 8th & 5th Ave. Our backyard is a TOTAL disaster. Absolutely insane there were no sirens for this tornado.\u201d
Another added, \u201c6th Street by Caswell is completely blocked! I’m pretty sure a tornado came through here!\u201d
A third resident wrote, \u201cSomething just came through Belvidere no power no internet bunch of trees knocked down kind of seems like it was as my neighbor said like a mini tornado that was nuts hail the size of a quarter that was scary.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another resident reported, \u201cWe hope everybody was able to stay safe in what appears to be a tornado that hit Belvidere. Currently, our whole block is without power due to a downed line. We have no timetable on when\/if the power will be back on tonight. We will keep you all updated here but as of right now we are going to be closed hopefully just for the evening. You all stay safe and have a great night!”
Another wrote, \u201cTree down on Appleton and also one down on Maryland CT off Appleton.\u201d
