The storm came from Iowa and tore up most of northwestern Illinois. Trees came down,cables were snapped - and the entire complex I lived in went out of power (five floors).

@Nimbus ComEd has been at it day and night, but they said it might be Saturday before they make any progress. Luckily, our building went back on power (except for the laundry room, which was still out this morning).

@Nimbus You might like to know that, due to Monday's storm, the entire city of Harvey is STILL in the dark without power, lights, or generators. Some of these people are oldsters, too. I saw newsreels and the place looks like a drunken jungle gym. Poles and trees everywhere, cars crushed under forestry. You name it, they had it (broken).
