We too are without power since yesterday's storm. There is a downed wire in our alley and I must say that this does not seem safe, even without electricity. There was yellow caution tape around it last night but half of the tape is now missing. Again, I for not think this is safe and simply cannot be best practices for the situation.
3135 N. 77th. Ave. Elmwood Park, IL. 60707 - no power since last night. How much longer will it be?
