Evergy reports scattered power outages throughout Buchanan County this morning, leaving slightly more than 6,000 residents without electricity this morning.

Ice brought down power lines throughout the St. Joseph area last night, knocking out power to nearly 22,000 residents from 343 outages.

Evergy reports 347 outages remain, yet the number of residences without power has dropped significantly.

Workers remain out throughout the area, restoring power in wake of the area’s first winter storm.
