Major Power Outage--Thousands Without Power

There has been a major power outage—the result of a horrendous electrical storm this morning.

The City of Crystal Lake has learned from ComEd that approximately 11,000 customers in Crystal Lake are without power as a result of this morning’s storm. System wide, ComEd has more than 578,000 customers without power and estimates that restoration may take several days. ComEd crews are working diligently to restore power to all affected areas. The damage to the area is significant.

If you or someone you know does not have power, contact 1-800-Edison (1900-334-7661) to report the outage. Individuals are also encouraged to contact ComEd to report any electric lines that are down. ComEd will provide updates on their website
