A communication tower crashing onto power lines left over 25,000 homes and businesses in Wheaton, Carol Stream, Winfield, and Hanover Park without electricity—right as temperatures soared into the 90s. Power’s back now, but the timing couldn’t have been worse for folks trying to stay cool. Local cooling centers quickly opened their doors, and neighbors shared tips to beat the heat, like closing blinds and staying hydrated. It’s a real reminder of how much we rely on the grid, especially during extreme weather. How did you handle the outage, and what’s your go-to way to stay cool when the AC’s out? #Business #Industry #PowerOutage
