Utilities warn of several days without power
The derecho storm left more than 100000 Linn and Johnson County residents without electricity as winds around 100 mph toppled lines. Alliant Energy and MidAmerican say restoration could take days with dozens of crews en route and rural areas at greater risk. Stay away from downed lines and expect extended outages through the week.
