No electricity in Chicago!!!

Yesterday was the first time I experienced a blackout in America.(I was given to understand that America never blacksout during my younger days - although this myth was broken the day NY blacked out. I didn't quite expect it). There had been a tornado warning near the suburb that I live and the storm gusts had uprooted trees and electric poles. My whole community was out of power. But thanks to the good souls working for ComEd ( the poor guys are working 16 hour a day shifts in this weather) -I managed to get the electricity late this afternoon.

P.S - this Mt Prospect community is 4 miles from my house :)
