Friday night's windstorm knocked out power in about 130 homes in the Cape Girardeau area, but the problems were more serious around Charleston.

AmerenUE had about 5,000 customers who went without power Friday night thanks to the windstorm that knocked trees into power lines, said Doug Groesbeck of Ameren-UE.

"It was really focused around Charleston, Dexter and Hayti area," Groesbeck said. "It was relatively clear around here. We had very minor trouble here."

Crews worked through Saturday to get power back on and everyone was expected to have their power back by late Saturday, he said.
