Power outages continue

While most of us in Crittenden County are now with power, many others are not.

Kengery, the electric cooperative that provides power form much of the county, reported Sunday that about 200 customers in this county are still without lights. There were an additional 160 in Caldwell, 100 in Lyon, 191 in Webster and 170 in Union counties without power about midday Sunday.

Schools were scheduled to be back in session Monday in Crittenden County. However, buses will run only on routes uninhibited by fallen trees. Bus drivers were running their normal roads Sunday in their private vehicles trying to determine if and where problems areas exist. The drivers were going to call the parents of students in areas they might not be able to serve, according to Crittenden County School District's transportation director, Al Starnes.
