Major power outages continue to be reported by local utilities as a result of yesterday afternoon's severe weather.

As of 6:30 this morning, Ameren is reporting almost 107-thousand customers thru-out Illinois without power.  Those power outages include every community they serve in the Regional Radio listening area.   Access the Ameren outage map HERE.

Also as of 6:30 this morning, Shelby Electric Cooperative is reporting over 27-hundred customers without power.   Included in this number are 770 customers in the rural Assumption area, almost 14-hundred customers southeast of Taylorville, and clusters of outages south of Mattoon.   Access the Shelby Electric outage map HERE.

Neither utility has a timetable on when power will be restored.   Crews are working as hard as possible to get power to customers in a safe manner.
