Tens of Thousands without power in Joliet and throughout Will County

There are tens of thousands of people and businesses without power in Joliet after a morning storm that downed trees and power lines. 

According to ComEd's website, more than 10,000 customers are without power in the Joliet region.

In Joliet, traffic lights are out at Six Corners and Larkin and Route 30--among others--creating traffic back-ups.  Joliet police were out at both intersections directing traffic.

Several homes and businesses lost power right after morning storms, while others lost power this afternoon.
