Atlantic Municipal Utilities reports power is out to an estimated 300-400 households and/or businesses in town. The Cass County Communications Center and courthouse radio building were running on an emergency generator.

The Cass County Comm. Center/Emergency Management reports traffic lights are out around downtown Atlantic. Please avoid driving in this area. If you must travel, drive with caution. AMU crews are working as quickly as possible to restore power, but there is still lightning and rain in Atlantic, which is making the situation more hazardous. Please be patient.
