ComEd says that nearby communities suffered wind-caused power outages, and firefighters from the Tinley Park Fire Department and Orland Park Fire District fought a grass fire caused by powerful gusts along 80th Avenue, north of I-80, that closed down 80th for a bit, according to a Sun-Times Media report.
