Crews work hard after a powerful storm hits Bloomington

Not all storms are created equal, and at the start of 2021, Bloomington, Illinois was hit with a doozy of an ice and snow blizzard. Snow and ice weighed down utility lines, felled trees blocked roads, and nearly everything was completely covered in ice. 

While crews throughout the area worked tirelessly, it took over a week to get the power back on for everyone. Check out the photos in the article linked below to see just how much damage a single powerful storm can do, and for a little behind-the-scenes peek into what it takes to get the power back on.
