The very popular restaurant Grubsteakers on Route 64 in Rochelle was badly damaged during the tornado.

The owner of the restaurant took action, sending all of the patrons into the basement, saving their lives.

One of the people that was inside Grubsteakers when the tornado hit is now accused of stealing money during the disaster, according to ABC7. 

The man, Michael McDonald is from Indiana. He was arrested last Wednesday. It is believed that he took $1,000 from the restaurant's register.
