So, who hasn't lost power?
I'm in the dark, and I expect my office is as well when I roll back to work. How's the rest of the city looking?

A utility pole snapped in half and fell on my fence. It was pulled down by a tree I've been complaining to the city about since December. They said no it is fine, even though it was rubbing the power lines during windy days. Which would make my lights flicker and sometimes cut my power. Knew it would cause an issue and kept complaining. Now there is a city pole that damaged my property.

Thank goodness you have those records of your contacting them for when you sue for negligence.

The electrician we hired also contacted them about it, so there is also that contacting proof. Double.

On the south west side near meijer everything looks to have working power.
8
I’m historic westside neighborhood. Almost downtown and we are out.
6
We're out over east of Dirksen and Ridge. Not too surprised since we lose power all the time. Pretty sure a deer farting near a power line is enough to put this area in the dark.

I'm just a few blocks from you and agree .. I'm thinking this might take a while !!
2
Yeah they finally updated the Facebook page saying we're basically not getting power for 24-48 hours minimum
2
I'm in the neighborhood over behind Parkway Pub and our power came back on around 3:30am .. Hope you got yours back too ..The Northside really has a lot of damage!!
2
So does the west side. Chatham rd to Wabash has tons of trees down.
3
Yeah ours flickered around then but never came fully on. Just kinda hoping it doesn't get too warm today.

I came from Taylorville, and there was no apparent power in any of the towns, but the traffic lights all worked between Rochester and Springfield. South Grand all the way in is a disaster, probably 75 or more branches and trees down, blocking lanes. I live just west of Veterans, and there were only 3 working stoplights: Dirksen at S Grand, 4th and S Grand, for some reason, only that one over there, and lastly Lawrence and Veterans.

Pana, Assumption and Macon were all out earlier, somehow Mowequa has power though.

Near Hy-Vee still out
3
Also near Hy-Vee still have power
2
Yeah it's weird how the grid works. Outer Park & MacArthur traffic lights are working while Cherry and MacArthur are out.
Bless Hyvee for having a generator so I could buy some beer. Priorities, you know.
5
for those trying times on your porch where you might need to grab a bottle.

Hyvee store operating on generator and not selling perishables
3
CWLP estimating 24-48 hours before power is back on.
3
Sangamon center North, at least the traffic lights and the dentist office have power. 19th and 20th don't yet it seems
2
Powers out by Rochester
2
I'm at springfield Lincoln, good here.
2
East side is out. I'm showering in the dark. Hehe.
2
the worst of it hit as i was waiting in sonic, my wife watched the entire street of wabash lose power up to about the strip mall by the red school mall
2
I'm heading back to Springfield tomorrow. What the heck is going on
2
Absolutely massive storm with heavy straight line wins rocked us around noon today.
5
A derecho!
3
Im at mod pizza and looks like most places around mall have power. Shell is open on corner of Washington and veterans
2
Has been out since noon here Southwest of Springfield about 45 minutes
2
Surrounding areas are being affected, too. Menard Electric shut down power until 10pm (to preserve the grid, I imagine).
2
Woodside is out
1
West of Washington no power, near isrinhsusen yes power
1
*west of veterans i mean
1
Some areas west of veterans and north of wabash still out of power btw.
2
My daughter is off of Farmingdale and old salem and they never lost power.
1
I’ve heard Westchester still has power. Currently at work in Tara Hill and there’s no power

Huge tree on the North side of Illini golf course was struck by lightning and split it right down the middle with both sides falling in different directions. Washington Park at Old Jack looked like a semi drove through the trees.

https://outagemap.cwlp.com/
Currently 43% of CWLP customers are without power.
Its up to 50.7% last time I looked
Yeah, I have been watching the outage map and am like how the hell is it going up this far after the storm? Lol.
At least it wasn't an ice storm. Then you're looking at days plus it's cold as fuck.
I think I'd rather have the cold. I have hoodies and a coat and blankets.
Wow
So what I'm hearing is probably no power til tomorrow
Anecdotally, It’s much higher than that.
