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.
