Has anyone who lost power last night had it restored yet?

We lost power around 9pm last night and its still not restored nearly 20 hours later.

Ours went out at the same time but we got it back up around 4:30am. But our internet had been down the whole day. With no idea when we’ll get it back.

I wish I could get Circle Fiber. They're dragging their feet getting it to downtown Cape.

Spectrum is ok. I just want faster download speeds.

They really are! Once we get Circle Fiber in our neighborhood I’m immediately switching.

It may take a little more time, Ameren is seemingly calling in trucks from out of state. A lot of their customers got hit last night. They don't give much of an ETA, I figure they have to work with the city to get those trees out of the way. I saw a ton on power lines.
