At least 32 people died across the country in this weekend's storms.

BELVIDERE, Ill. -- Gov. J.B. Pritzker traveled Sunday to Belvidere to visit the Apollo Theatre, which partially collapsed Friday night as about 260 people were attending a heavy metal concert.

"I couldn't save him," his son told ABC 7 Chicago. The father and son were standing side by side when debris began raining down."It happened so fast."Pritzker also planned to visit Crawford County, about 230 miles south of Chicago, where three people were killed and eight injured when a tornado hit around New Hebron.

"While we are still assessing the full extent of the damage, we know families across America are mourning the loss of loved ones, desperately waiting for news of others fighting for their lives, and sorting through the rubble of their homes and businesses," President Joe Biden said in a statement. The National Weather Service confirmed Sunday that a tornado was responsible for damage to several homes near Bridgeville, Delaware. One person was found dead inside a house heavily damaged by the storm Saturday night, Delaware State Police reported.

Ashley Macmillan said she, her husband and their children huddled with their dogs in a bathroom as a tornado passed,"praying and saying goodbye to each other, because we thought we were dead." A falling tree seriously damaged their home, but they escaped unhurt.
