St. Louis – About 58,000 Amreren customers still don't have power as of this morning (7/7/04).
A thousand workers were out last night repairing lines that came down during Monday night's storms.
SBC was also reporting sporadic phone outages yesterday. An Ameren spokeswoman called the storm one of the most destructive the utility had experienced.
The lights have come back on for almost 100,000 Ameren customers.
About 900 Illinois Power customers in the Metro-East are also without power.
