Downed trees and power lines have caused massive power outages. Crews with 2,000 workers have been working all week to restore power.
On Thursday night, generators continued buzzing in neighborhoods across the area, as some ComEd customers entered a fifth day without electricity.
As CBS 2’s Tara Molina reported, ComEd said Thursday that it had restored electricity to 90 percent of its customers. To the remaining 10 percent, the painful wait continued Thursday night – with four days and counting of no power.
South suburban residents are still without power and say they feel like a lower priority.
