SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) — Amid severe rainstorms sweeping across the Ozarks at the start of the Memorial Day holiday weekend, thousands are without power across Springfield.

Just over 3,200 City Utilities customers were without power Saturday morning, with the majority in the northwestern part of town. According to City Utilities, the outages were due to severe weather and high winds. However, due to the number of utility poles that need to be replaced, it could take seven to eight hours to have power fully restored.
