ORLAND PARK, Ill. - Storms rocked the Chicago area overnight, leaving downed trees and flooded streets from the city to the suburbs.

Orland Park commuters had to avoid a portion of 139th Street between 110th Avenue and Persimmon Drive because of a massive fallen tree. 

A couple hundred ComEd customers lost power as rain, thunderstorms and gusty winds swept through the area. 

The southwest suburbs were hit with penny-sized hail and 40 mph wind. Heavy rain made for a wet commute Tuesday morning with standing water left on several roads.
