Power restored to more than 300 AmerenUE customers in Cape

Power has been restored to the over 350 AmerenUE customers who experienced an outage early this afternoon.

The outage was caused by a tree falling on power lines on Henderson Avenue near its intersection with Dunklin Street, said Mike Cleary, a spokesman for AmerenUE.

The utility's Web site reported as many as 358 customers were without service in the 63701 ZIP code this afternoon for about two hours.
