Com Ed crews are working to restore power to areas hit hard by yesterday’s storms that moved through the area. ComEd says between Braidwood to the State Line and Monee to the Iroquois County Line they have more than 10-thousand customers still without power. They hope to have most of those restored by early this afternoon.
It’s not any better across the State Line. The Northern Indiana Public Service Company or NIPSCO says they have power out to customers across Northwest Indiana from Kouts to Lake Village and Lowell to Demotte. In fact the Indiana State Police posted on their Facebook page that anyone traveling through Northwest Indiana should fill up with gas in Illinois before leaving the state. They say the power outages have left most of the gas stations in Northwest Indiana without power to pump gas and those that do have power are overwhelmed with people trying to get fuel and may run out before more arrives. NIPSCO hasn’t given any estimates as to when power may be restored to Northwest Indiana.
