Severe weather storms hit parts of Illinois Tuesday evening
Donald Trump claimed victory in Illinois Tuesday night at around the same time Mother Nature wreaked havoc on the Windy City.
Social media users posted photos as severe weather hit Chicago and nearby areas, with even tornadoes touching down in some parts of the state.
Then, to cap things off, lightning struck the Trump Tower.

By the end of the day, at least ten tornadoes had been reported in Illinois along with more than 60 instances of hail storms, according to the National Weather Service.
Some pieces of hail were the size of golf balls.
Storms were reported in Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana and Missouri, too - where Trump also claimed victory in Tuesday night's primary.
The Republican front-runner then created a storm of his own on Wednesday morning when he announced he would not participate in the next Republican debate, which was due to be hosted by FOX News and moderated by Megyn Kelly.
There are now reports that as a result of this, the debate has been cancelled.

In addition to Illinois and Missouri on Tuesday, he also claimed victory in North Carolina and Florida.
The fifth state of the night, Ohio, went to current governor John Kasich.
On the Democrat side, Hillary Clinton claimed victory in all five states.
