⚡Customer Care Vans are being deployed in Streator, Hickory Hills and Chicago's South Side, including the Stony Island and Gresham neighborhoods to provide on-site support and resources for customers.

@TweetSyxx@ComEd I think the number of outages were close to 4 million total. I check the map daily. It is getting better. I was in this situation 2 years ago. Except it was winter below zero. 36 hours no heat! I hung out at McDonald’s & was packing my bag for my daughters.
It came back on.

To our Streator community: we know the tornado and storms hit hard yesterday, destroying homes, downing power lines and causing outages.
Our crews are working to restore power safely and as quickly as possible. We understand how challenging outages are, and we won’t stop until everyone is back online. Thank you to our customers for your patience, and to our city leaders and first responders for your partnership.
The power is out and I’m just PRAYING that the update to the estimated time of return is correct and that they’ll have it on in the next half an hour or so cause y’all I’m not cut out for the dark ages 😭🙏🏻
