Forced Power Outage To Affect Oquawka
A forced power outage is needed in the Oquawka area, for Ameren crews to repair a transmission line that had been damaged by the day's storms.

Ameren representative Victoria Busch said that crews are already on the way to the Monmouth area, which is where the damaged transmissions lines lay.

Although residents of Monmouth should not be affected, Oquawka residents as well as those rural areas surrounding Oquawka can expect a power outage that possibly lasts two to four hours beginning around 8 p.m. this evening, as crews work to repair the damaged line.
