Glad to hear you're OK. The 15 minutes drive home from Skokie was 90
minutes. Edens Expy completely shut down. Downtown Winnetka had so much
water it was lapping at the sides of at least one building. My dad was in
Deerfield yesterday, he said the lawns were littered with soaked sofas and
carpets just pulled out of basements.

Whoa. Yeah that was a hell of a set of storms that rumbled through
Chicagoland. That's a nasty commute increase for sure.

Gotta give props to comed though for getting us back. Dunno what
specifically was the matter, but an entire substation went down I
think, and their attempts to reclose the circuits kicked out quite a
few times, so it seems it took some time to isolate the faults.

Folks in other places in the area weren't so lucky and may be out of
power until tomorrow even.
