Utility crews continue to restore power to the more than 320,000 residents affected by damaging storms that ripped through much of McHenry County and the region early Tuesday.

Thunderstorms with winds in excess of 50 mph produced more than an inch of rain in areas of the county less than a week after a similar line of storms knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of residents.

As of 11 a.m., 12,600 ComEd customers in the Chicago region were without power, according to the utility. Outages include 3,800 in the west region, 3,800 in the south region, 4,000 in the Chicago and Maywood region, and 1,000 in the north region.
