City and suburban authorities had mere hours overnight to transition from clean up after a line of powerful thunderstorms left thousands without power and wind related damage in its wake to a heatwave that pushed heat indices over 100 degrees.
City and suburban authorities had mere hours overnight to transition from cleanup after a line of powerful thunderstorms left thousands without power and wind-related damage in its wake to a heat wave that pushed heat indexes over 100 degrees.
The storms left 125,000 northern Illinois residents without power, but ComEd reported having restored all but 25,000 by midday Tuesday, according to a spokesperson. Officials in Brookfield said the storm caused about 1,600 outages and heavy damage. “Virtually all areas of the village were impacted” by Tuesday’s storm, according to an online statement by village officials.
In Schaumburg, officials reported dispatching multiple “chipper crews” to clean up branches from parkway trees and were still assessing storm damage.Some suburbs, such as Mount Prospect, say they got away relatively unscathed, with its public works staff able to handle its wind damage complaints. “I think we dodged a bullet,” Mount Prospect Village Manager Michael Cassady said in an email.
