The ComEd power outages continue Friday, as over 20K Chicago-area residents are again waking up without electricity Friday morning.
Mary Kopterski and her 13-year-old dog spent the night trying to stay warm as the temperature inside her house dropped to 50 degrees by morning.
"We were up until 3 in the morning trying to deal with everything," she said. She was about to leave for her daughter's house when her power was restored. "I hate that this happens every so often here. It's really hard. I've lost a lot of things because of this.""Well, we had candles, and we had some flashlights, and that kind of thing and a little table lights that turn on electrically," Draper said.
On Thursday morning, homeowners were happy to see ComEd crews pull up, after Wednesday's winter weather coated everything in sheets of ice."Every tree had ice; every bush had ice. And they started coming down," said Blake Berube, who was helping his parents in Lake Bluff. The power in parts of Lake Bluff went out at about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, and, on Thursday morning, generators could be heard buzzing."We've been hanging in there, dressing warmly, lots of blankets, so we're glad to see ComEd is here," Smith said.Friday will be a cold, blustery day with a high of 28 degrees. A few flurries are possible Friday night.
