With a chance for blizzard conditions this week, area utility firms are preparing to deal with possible power outages. ComEd is making crews available. Eastern Illini and Ameren is also readying the extra help. Predicted wind gusts up to 50 mph could take down power lines, and ComEd said it has crews ready to respond. The utility’s president said crews will try to restore power as quickly as possible despite it being a holiday week. They remind Illinoisans that you can report any outage by phone at 1-800-EDISON1.
