It's possible this property is located on N. Callahan Rd. east of Rte. 12 and north of the Village of Wauconda in Wauconda Township.

The F4 tornado was tracked starting near Crystal Lake in McHenry County eventually crossing Rte. 12 and ending in this area of Wauconda Township in Lake County. A total of 6 people were killed and hundreds of home were destroyed or severely damaged.
