First of all, I am glad all of you in Benton are safe and warm. At 10:10 pm, Ameren’s website did not show an outage in the 62812 area code.
I am very green at this. I learned something tonight. When something happens, talk to an official and do not rely on a website. When I saw the inflated number, my heart went out to all of you on a cold night.
I jumped the gun, and I am sorry.
It was an isolated incident on the northeast corner of town and around the Lake Moses/Country Club area.
In any situation like this, I will do my best to provide up to the minute information, if at all possible. Tonight, the up to the minute was overkill. It is a mistake that I learned from.
