Beautiful Day to Recover from Storms

It’s going to be a gorgeous day, today. Highs near the 80s, and thankfully, the rain came on a weekday so that we can all enjoy the weekend. Unless you’ve got a yard to clean up from the storms.

ComEd reports there are still about 9,000 who are powerless, mostly in Northern Illinois between Waukegan and Rockford. With winds up to 65 m.p.h., there were lots of tree branches taking power lines down. At the peak of the storm, there were as many as 69,000 people without power. ComEd reminds folks: if you come across a downed power line, call 1-800-EDISON1.
