"We continue to track the severe storms with strong wind gusts in our area," a statement posted to ComEd's website read."We will provide updated information as often as possible. Our crews are in the field ready to make repairs and restore power as needed."According to the NBC 5 Storm Team, Wednesday and Thursday were expected to remain mild dry in the Chicago area, with storms and shows returning Friday morning and late afternoon and continuing through the evening hours.
“Sadly we can confirm that there have been fatalities,” Dinkla said at a news conference Tuesday night, without specifying how many. “We’re still counting at this time.” In the aftermath of the storm, mounds of broken wood from homes, branches, car parts and other debris littered lots where homes once stood. Some trees still standing were stripped of their limbs and leaves. Residents helped each other salvage furniture and other belongings that were strewn in every direction.
Greenfield bills itself on its website as a “friendly wave as you walk” type of place with tree-lined streets — before the storm — and as the “perfect place to grow.”
