Power outages still affect almost 15,000 residents
Posted on July 25th, 2008 at 5:16 amDavenport, QUAD CITIES — Mid American Energy reports almost 15,000 Quad City area residents are still without power Friday morning, 96 hours after a powerful thunderstorm struck the region Monday morning.
The biggest concentration of power outages remains in Rock Island and Moline where 10,000 customers remain without power at 3 a.m. Friday.
Rock Island library officials were able to re-open the 30/31 branch yesterday afternoon, though there is still no computer access.
Western Illinois University’s Quad City campus is fully opening Friday morning, the first time the school has been able to fully operate since Monday.
The WIU-QC campus will re-open for business at 8 a.m. Civil service and administrative employees should report to work at their regularly scheduled times.
As you can see the mess continues for some down here and this is the busiest day of the year as the Bix Fest, and Ragbri are hitting town this weekend. So hotel,motel rooms for those without power are hard to find if they can be found.
I hope your day is going better folks see you later, Baldy
