COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Parts of Mid-Missouri saw another round of rain Saturday morning following severe storms and damaging winds the night before.

The ABC 17 Stormtrack Weather team is tracking a wet Saturday morning before the rain clears up for the rest of the week.

An ABC 17 News reporter saw some water-covered roadways in Paris around 6 a.m., and a fast-flowing Middle Fork Salt River.

Just after 7 a.m., Boone County Joint Communications sent a text message to residents, letting them know that a downed tree was in the roadway in the 7000 block of North Buckingham Square, creating a traffic hazard.

Another ABC 17 News reporter saw a tree blown over onto the Heather Ridge apartment complex in west Columbia. ABC 17 has reached out to management to see if anyone was hurt, although an ambulance wasn't spotted on scene.

Strong storms also knocked out power for thousands of Mid-Missourians on Friday night, and a couple of hundred Boone County residents were still in the dark early Saturday morning. Those storms knocked down about eight power line poles on Highway NN in Boone County.

An old power line pole is broken on the grass in front of the new pole that utility crews put up early Saturday morning.

Dee Stidhan lives on that road, and she said new poles were put in, and power was restored around 3:30 a.m.
