Strong and gusty wind over the weekend is being blamed for reports of damage and power outages across the Lake Area. No major damage had been reported as of Sunday morning but reports did include downed tree limbs, shingles off houses and some docks that got knocked loose. Power outages were also reported, at least, in the Eldon and Camdenton areas. Ameren-Missouri’s online map showed more than eleven-thousand customers, statewide, had power issues related to the weather. Ameren further urged people to stay far away from any downed power lines and to report any cases to local law enforcement or to Ameren. Winds were gusting 30-40 miles per hour around parts of the Lake Area throughout much of the evening on Saturday.
