Update from ComEd via text message at 3:35 pm: "Due to severe activity, estimated restore time is not yet known."
The online outage map says "Additional crews required, assessing damage".

I just took a look and it says 5:30 pm, so let's hope that is the case.

What is the cause? Severe activity means nothing. It is not like the heat of the summer with AC running constantly.

I have power! And I still haven't heard anything definite about a cause. The manager at Starbucks told me this morning that the automated system claimed "a line" was down, yet we had partial power all day.

I think that "severe activity" refers to the amount of damage done, since that didn't come into play until that 3:35 text message. But that's just a guess. We'll probably never know for sure.
