Residents are still without power -- meaning no air conditioning during dangerous heat.
Our Asal Rezai reported from suburban Broadview Wednesday night– one of the hardest-hit areas.
"We have been without power, it came on last night til this morning for a little bit but then they had to obviously remove trees so we're back to power off," he said. "Honestly it's kind of overwhelming because we're working from home so right now I'm just sitting here telling my job I can't work right now because I got to deal with all this," he said.
With long shifts, crews say it's critical to rotate shifts while working in dangerously hot conditions.
