UPDATE: Fewer than 150 customers still without power

Midwest Energy is reporting more than 10,000 customers were without power Sunday morning after a winter storm blew into the area. As of 9:30 p.m., only 140 remained without power.

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.”
