"One of the challenges with this storm was that there were many individual outages," Zatkowski said. "Were trying to restore as many customers as we can as quickly as we can."

In the agency's northern region, , there were 187,000 customers without power as of 7 a.m. this morning, according to ComEd. In total, 400,000 customers throughout the Chicago area were affected.

By 4 p.m., Zatkowski told Patch that the number of  in its northern region was down to 137,000.
