CHICAGO (WLS) -- There's already a warning out about untrustworthy contractors trying to take advantage of people who sustained damage from recent tornadoes in the Chicago area.
These dishonest contractors are often referred to as "storm chasers," or people who come into areas that have been impacted by severe weather looking for vulnerable homeowners to prey on.
The Chicago area certainly saw a great deal of destruction in Wednesday's storm, from blown-off roofs to trees toppling over yards and homes. The clean-up effort will be significant for many people.
Typically, in these cases, homeowners are distraught. So, if someone comes to your door promising to help, it's important to remain vigilant about your property and money.
