The Patel family, who own the Skyline Motel in McCook, are trying to pick up the pieces after a possible tornado destroyed their livelihood Wednesday.
The Patels said their grandparents came from India in the early 1990s with nothing and were able ot become owners of the motel. Their family business is now in shambles.
The possible tornado ripped the roof clear off the Skyline motel. They were nearly despondent Wednesday night, and now in the light of day Thursday surveyed what was left of the family's legacy.According to the National Weather Service, a possible EF-1 tornado with winds near 110 miles per hour tracked nine miles from Burr Ridge to near Stickney, sheering the roof off the Skyline, downing power lines and damaging homes and businesses.
Skyline owner Brian Patel walked through the wreckage of his family business, and said its future is in jeopardy. "When I first hear, my heart just sank and I couldn't sleep all night," he said. "Everything is kind of in limbo right now.""This is where everything got started and I don't want it to end this way," he said."We gotta work to preserve their legacy, gotta keep building on top of what they built so that my future generation can also have something to stand for," he said.
