Saturday night's severe weather in the Regional Radio listening area, dropped several poles and a primary power line owned by Ameren Illinois south of Taylorville.

Sub-contractors for Ameren were on hand Sunday to replace nearly 2 miles of poles just east of the Nokomis Road, and north of Lake Shore Golf Course.

Some Ameren customers in that area, were without power thru mid afternoon on Sunday.

The storms knocked Miller Media Group radio station "THE WINNER 96-5" off the air from Saturday night, until early afternoon on Sunday.

The bad weather also knocked out power in other portions of Central Illinois, with the Champaign-Urbana area still working to be restored as of Sunday afternoon.
