A power outage in north St Joseph appears to have been fixed. Radio listeners tell us the stoplights were not working at the Belt and Gene Field Road. Police officers were dispatched to help direct traffic.

There were hundreds of outages north of there, according to the KCP&L outage map. An area from North 22nd Street to the Belt, north and south of Ashland appeared to have lost power. The utility suggested 1,151 customers were without electricity at 9:41 a.m. Within about ten minutes that number had dropped to just 21 customers.

This may be related to a traffic problem in the area. Officers were dispatched to block traffic at Ashland and Beck Road, as well as at Beck and Chambers.
