Power outages continue after a powerful storm hit Monmouth around 8:30 Wednesday morning, downing trees and power lines and damaging multiple buildings.
Ameren spokesperson Karly Combest told TSPR as of 2 p.m. Wednesday, the restoration time was not yet known.

The train derailed near Ormonde, southeast of Monmouth, according to the Monmouth Police Department.
No leaks or injuries have reported following the derailment, according to police.
Ameren and local officials are warning to stay away from downed power lines.
Police also say to practice caution while driving.
