Live wires sparked a small fire, and nearly every block in Huntley had decades-old trees or branches on the ground. One person ABC7 Eyewitness News spoke with described their neighborhood "like a war zone."

Dave DiVenere shared video of the storm in Huntley, saying it was much stronger than what the area usually experiences.

As of 9 p.m., ComEd said more than 30,000 customers were without power, about two thirds of them in the west region of the coverage area.

There were 73 flights canceled at O'Hare International Airport shortly before 6 p.m., and arriving flights were delayed by an average of 47 minutes. Twenty-three flights had been canceled at Midway Airport.
