COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Nearly 1,000 electric meters went dark in Columbia on Tuesday morning, according to the Columbia Water and Light outage map.

The outages appeared to be clustered along Stadium Boulevard, Route E and West Broadway at about 11:30 a.m. Emergency dispatchers warned of traffic backups in the area of Stadium Boulevard and Worley Street because of traffic lights that didn't have power.

The outage map showed 975 customers without power in 25 outages. The outage hit 7,141 meters at its height after a line tripped during maintenance at a substation, a Water and Light spokesperson said.

All power had been restored by 12:11 p.m.
