POWER OUTAGE ANNOUNCEMENT: As we approach sunset on the second day of this power outage, we have an announcement we want you to know about.
After working since the storms first rolled through, around 1 p.m. on Saturday, the decision has been made to send our Electric crew home to get a night of sleep.
The crews will work until dark and then will go home. They will resume their work first thing Monday morning.
We understand that at this point there are a few dozen without power and we know this is not the news you were hoping to hear. But, we do also need to be mindful of the safety of our staff, to ensure a difficult situation does not become a tragic one.
For those with questions about what work still remains, crews have been working to restore power to individual homes or small groupings of homes (2-6 houses). A majority of the challenges are large trees that have fallen onto power lines or have knocked down power poles. Crews in the field say Saturday’s storm created more tree damage than any storm they have worked during their time in Harrisonville.
We appreciate the patience and support of our entire community in the wake of this storm. Our crews are committed to the people of Harrisonville and will be back to finish their work first thing Monday morning.
