As of Tuesday afternoon, ComEd was reporting 275,753 outages in northern Illinois and NIPSCO was reporting 280,254 outages in northwest Indiana. No tornadoes have been officially confirmed from Tuesday's storms, but that assessment is ongoing. Tuesday's outbreak follows a devastating round of seven confirmed tornadoes that hit the south Chicago suburbs just two weeks ago. The Chicago area has now seen 62 confirmed tornadoes in 2026, nearly four times the 30-year average of 16. More storms are expected Wednesday through the weekend.
