Ameren Illinois, just reported on their website of 1317 customers without power in the city of Benton and 28 residents in Logan without power.
Ameren has not given an estimated time of ETA for local law enforcement agencies.
It seems like most of the outages are on the east side of town according to social media posts.
I will update information as it comes along.
UPDATE: 3:35 p.m. Benton Fire Department reported that there is a power pole on fire that caused the outage. This was around a half hour ago. Ameren is saying on their site 3,400 customers are out, which includes most of Benton and West City.
UPDATE: 4:45 p.m. Ameren is giving a restoration time of 6:00 p.m.
