COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
Some Boone County residents woke up to power outages Sunday morning.
Around 6 a.m. Sunday, Columbia Water and Light made a post on Facebook saying around 1,200 customers were without power due to an accident near Clark Lane. Power was restored less than an hour later, according to a Facebook post at 6:40 a.m. Sunday.
Boone County Joint Communications also announced wires were down that closed a portion of Highway 63 at Clark Road around 5 a.m. The wires were repaired, and crews reopened the road at 9:49 a.m, BCJC says.
It is unclear if the two outages were connected.
According to Ameren's outage map, 264 customers are without service in Missouri as of 11 a.m. Sunday.
ABC 17 News is working to learn the cause of the outages, and has reached out to the City of Columbia and Ameren for more details.
Mid-Missouri was hit with intense rain and winds early Sunday morning in the first half of what is expected to be a day full of extreme weather. The ABC 17 Stormtrack Weather Team has issued a Weather Alert Day for severe storms and tornadoes possible on Easter Sunday.
