Most of the customers in Hays proper had been restored, with only localized outages in the city, according to the Midwest Energy outage viewer.
Mike Morley of Midwest Energy said crews have been out since 3 a.m.
“(We’re) not finding many poles or wires down, but lots of blown fuses and open breakers. As soon as we reset, it blows again,” he said. “When (the) wind dies down we’ll make real headway.”
