AmerenUE had restored power to all but six customers by 3:10 p.m. today following a Monday night storm that left hundreds of the utility's customers in Cape Giradeau County in the dark.

The late night thunderstorm downed numerous trees and power lines.

The storm began around 10:30 p.m. Monday and by 11 p.m. 899 AmerenUE customers were without electricity. The AmerenUE website reported that 33 customers did not have power around 11 a.m.

The Cape Girardeau Police Department fielded calls of downed trees and power lines.

Among the calls firefighters responded to was a report of a tree that had taken down a power line, which resulted in smoke at 737 Gibboney St. Firefighters arrived on the scene at 11:19 p.m. but did not notice any further danger.

Heavy rains accompanied the storm, and a flood warning was issued for Southeast Missouri and Southern Illinois, according to the National Weather Service in Paducah, Ky.
