MOLINE, Ill. (KWQC) — Downtown Moline is experiencing a power outage due to a tree falling onto a power line.

The tree fell onto a power line near 6th Street and 11th Avenue, according to a Facebook post from the Moline Police Department. No power means no lights and intersections controlled by traffic control devices become a four way stop.

“Please treat the impacted intersections like a stop sign until power is restored,” the post said.

According to MidAmerican Energy, on the Illinois side of the Quad Cities, 854 customers are without power.
