While damage was minimal throughout the village, fallen tree branches brought power lines down in some areas of the village.
A Village Board meeting had to be cancelled Tuesday night as there was no power at Village Hall.
Power was restored to some areas of the village Tuesday evening as Commonwealth Edison crews were out throughout the night trying to restore power. Some areas remained without power late Tuesday. ComEd gave no estimates on when power would be fully restored.
Many residents were scrabbling to figure out what to do with food in their freezers while others were more creative hosting cook outs with neighbors.
There was some flooding associated with Monday's storm, flooding basements.
The Sauk Village Fire Station was staffed to serve as a cooling center according to village officials.
The McConathy Public Library and Village Hall were closed to the public all day Tuesday. Village's water operations and Police Station were normal as emergency back up generators provided power.
