It wasn’t exactly the “big bang” but hundreds of Ameren-Missouri customers in Morgan County were without power area early Saturday night. The Morgan County Sheriff’s Department reports residents and businesses near the courthouse, including Hilton Surety Bail Bonds, reported hearing a loud “bang” before power flickered but stayed on. Others around Versailles, including Walmart and McDonalds, were left without power as well as parts of Stover, about 9 miles west of Versailles. Power was restored to all customers around 9:30 PM after about an hour and 45 minutes. Ameren says a circuit breaker blew in a local substation causing the power outage.
