A home's surveillance cameras capturing the moments a powerful storm moved through Will County.
"It felt like 80 mile an hour winds came through the driveway," said Kevin Shelton.
Those frightening and uncertain moments were captured on a home security camera in Will County.
"I was wondering if a tornado was coming really," Shelton said.
Shelton lives next door to the neighbors who shared the video with ABC7, and said he was outside when the storm moved through.
"Lot of debris," Shelton said. "Garbage can lids, chairs, the roof off my playhouse. It broke down the fence."

In Plainfield, the clean-up is well underway, but some of the heaviest damage from that quick and powerful storm still remained on Monday afternoon.
That storm was powerful enough to uproot a tall pine tree before it went crashing down onto a neighbor's yard next door.
Residents ABC7 spoke with in the Kendall Ridge Subdivision said they are definitely shaken after the storm.

"It happened within a matter of seconds. I saw it, and it was gone," said Adam Anderson, a Plainfield resident. "I looked out the window, and I just saw it coming right down the street. It was nuts. I've never seen anything like it."
A quick tornado left behind a trail of damage and debris in the subdivision.
"I was scared, because I was not sure what was going on. And, I was scared. I didn't know what to do," said Maria Cano, another Plainfield resident.
A home's fence was ripped from the ground. Basketball hoops thrown from one house to the next, and large branches snapped from an uprooted tree.
In neighboring Naperville, the powerful storm uprooted a large tree along Diehl Road.
Traci Dupuis was inside her home when she said the storm quickly left its mark on the neighborhood.
ABC7 spoke with her as she was assessing damage in her community.
"It wasn't just wind. I could see stuff just like swirling around," Dupuis said. "My fence, you can see it's all down. My furniture levitated off the ground and I started running through the kitchen to get away from the windows. Random furniture, mailboxes everywhere."
But, after the dark storm, there was a bright ray of positivity: neighbors helping neighbors.
"The people were pouring out of their houses. Everyone was helping everyone. Everyone was making sure everyone was okay," Adam said.
But, residents said they are just grateful no one was hurt.
