Our crews worked overnight to repair damage & restore customers in SW and central IA after severe storms and tornadoes rolled through late yesterday. In Council Bluffs and SW Iowa, approximately 85% of customers have been restored, but there are still significant repairs needed.
Unseasonably warm day ahead of us, with the chance for showers/storms, especially in the afternoon and evening. Some storms may be strong to severe! Stay Weather Aware Today!
