As of Thursday morning, crews had reduced the number of people without power to 8,000 from a peak of almost 560,000 on Monday night. ComEd spokesman Joe Trost said he's confident customers still without power will be back up by 6 p.m. tonight. The majority of those customers are in Chicago and various southern suburbs.



The traffic light at Elston and Division has been out for THREE days. Traffic there is a nightmare, especially since it is right by the entrance/exit to the interstate. And the city can't even put someone there to direct traffic during rush hour?! Come on ComEd, this is ridiculous.
Wow ... I can comment now because I finally got power in Logan Square about 6 this evening. I'd almost forgotten what this whole modern world thing was like.
