City crews worked to restore power to portions of Fayette early Monday in the latest of a series of power outages as thunderstorms continued to saturate this section.

The first outage came around 2:30 a.m., when at a single home where a tree fell on a house. The next happened around 4 a.m. Monday when a tree crossed phases in the northwest circuit. That outage lasted for approximately 30 minutes.

Electric customers had fared well over the previous few years with fewer power interruptions after crews cut trees and brush around power lines. But this spring and early summer have seen a particularly active period of thunderstorms, causing electrical outages and flash flooding.

No thunderstorms are forecasted to occur over the next week, although highs are expected to rise into the upper 90s. (See Weather Forecast on Page 2).
