    After Monday night's derecho, the Chicago area woke up to startling images of uprooted trees everywhere.

    The big picture: The City's Department of Streets and Sanitation says that since Sunday's storm it has received 2,394 emergency calls for downed trees, broken limbs and debris.


    • Many of the fallen trees and limbs downed power lines and caused extensive property damage.
    • And some big, old, beloved trees perished from the high winds.

    What's next: DSS says crews are actively working to clear damaged tree parts. Residents are encouraged to dial 311 to report storm debris.
