“The trees ere swirling for about five minutes and then they started breaking,” said Ted Seymour.

In Libertyville, wind gusts knocked a big branch onto the front porch of a house on Sunnyside Court. Crews got it off the power lines and hauled it away.

In Northbrook, more tree limbs hit power lines, forcing ComEd to send over trucks.

Around 2,000 ComEd customers were without power late Sunday.
