Minor Injuries as School Bus Falls on Side
LOVES PARK, Ill. (AP) -- Authorities say a driver and several school children suffered minor injuries when a Rockford School District bus rolled onto its side near the site of a tornado touchdown.

Police say four or five of the children complained of minor back pains as they were being evacuated from the bus near a Loves Park intersection where the National
Weather Service confirmed a tornado touchdown about 3 p.m. Monday.

None of the injuries were believed to be life threatening.

Violent storms in Winnebago and Boone counties toppled power lines and trees, but authorities said Monday afternoon there had been no other early reports of injuries. ComEd reports major power outages from the storms.

ComEd spokesman Paul Callighan says some 42,200 customers lost power from northern Winnebago County east to Belvidere.
