Chicago’s Storm Cycle Continues | Chicago News

Chicago’s weather is turning brutal again, with Tuesday’s storms hitting hard just days after Sunday’s chaos—leaving cleanup crews sidelined by relentless new systems. ComEd scrambled early to restore power at a city tow yard, bracing for a surge in outages as a Severe Thunderstorm Watch loomed over much of the region. This follows the devastation of last August’s record-breaking derecho—a $11 billion storm that tore through the Midwest with 100+ mph winds and spawned 11 tornadoes in Illinois, including one in Chicago’s Rogers Park. Now, with two EF-1 tornadoes already striking LaSalle County Monday, fears are mounting of another catastrophic derecho. But ComEd’s got 2,000 workers and contractors on standby, ready to tackle whatever nature throws their way. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
