As severe thunderstorms moved through the Springfield metro area early Friday morning, nearly 2,000 customers of Springfield City Utilities were left in the dark for about an hour and a half.
City Utilities’ outage map showed the affected area was along Chestnut Expressway from just west of the Highway 65 interchange to near National Avenue.
Power was restored around 7:30 a.m. after going out just before 6:00.
There’s no word yet from C-U on the cause of the outage.
