Com ed has been busting ass all night and they are still sitting on 756 outages with almost 40k people affected.
Up in the far northwest we had 10k give or take that have already been restored.
Good luck to those in the still impacted areas- they usually hit the large or easy ones first, and the damaged structures last. Any still down have a high likelihood of significant damage that will take several hours and a lot of manpower to fix.

Was sitting on the deck as this flight came over on the way to Willard. Flight diverted to Champaign due to Chicago storms

I'll tell you from personal experience, that shit is terrible. Imagine not having power for almost 2 weeks. In Florida. In August.

So I was flying back home from ORD Monday night, what fuckery, lightening hitting the tarmac so they bring in all outdoor employees, then a tornado warning and they make everyone move away from the terminal windows, then they finally sound the fuck-it alarm and evacuate us all into the tunnels. Your weather sucks dick-bags, I will gladly suffer the insufferable CA progressives in exchange for blue skies.

@Urblock needs some rain.

After the buckets of rain we had a couple weeks back I am semi surprised it turned to dryer than usual so quickly.
Before last weekend, I wasn't even mowing because the ground was too spongey.

 

[ytsejam]

Need rain down my way too.
Saturday looks to be hot and rainy.

 

[Urblock]

Rain! This is great. Little thunder and 71 is perfect after 100+.
