Tuesday Storms Cause Damage in Falls City

By John Nixon

(KLZA)-- The thunderstorms in the area Tuesday afternoon and evening caused some power outages in Falls City.

An area located north of South Elementary School was affected most when tree limbs falling caused two power poles to break off. When the lines came down, it also caused some meters to be pulled off of houses in the area.

Residents along East 12th, Weaver and Fulton Streets to the north of South School were affected. The City Line Crew was out from about 6 p-m Tuesday evening until 6 a-m this morning working to restore power. After a short break they were right back to work, continuing to repair damage.

Most of the power has been restored, accept for homes where the meters were damaged. If the electrical meter is pulled off of a home, it is the responsibility of the home owner for getting an electrician to repair that type of damage.

Some repair work was also required on the power line toward Rulo after the storm move through the area Tuesday.
