Butler Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
Metal outbuilding was destroyed and powerlines downed.
Light to moderate freezing rain formed early morning on New Year's Day. This freezing rain quickly accreted between a quarter to half inch before sunrise. Shortly after sunrise the freezing rain switched to light snow, which persisted for the bulk of the remaining day time hours. The snow did not accumulate more than 1 to 3 inches, but on top of the ice accretion created winter storm conditions. Mostly scattered power outages and vehicle accidents were the impacts, but being a holiday, road traffic was likely light.
Aside from a fatality in a rural area just outside Butler, Missouri widespread wind damage occurred in and around Butler, Missouri. Nearby areas experienced widespread powerline and power pole damage, and in Butler several structures were heavily damage.
A dry line punched through the area on the afternoon of November 11, bringing 50 to 60 mph synoptic straight line winds. Local ASOS observations reported gusts near 60 mph across the area, but the winds also damaged, trees, power lines, and a few outbuildings. This dry line also created some thunderstorm activity, which caused some isolated convective wind damage.
Trained weather spotters from across the area reported between .20 and .50 of freezing rain on December 21. The highest amount of ice accumulation in the area came out of Clinton, Missouri, where .45 of ice accumulated. Once the freezing rain ended light snow accumulated throughout the area during the overnight hours. Between 1 and 3 inches of snow fell on top of the ice accumulation. Some power outages occurred, but no widespread effects were reported from this ice storm.

Power is out on Lucille lane here in Butler. Not sure when it went out, was kind of hoping for an estimate on when it will be back.
My power is out. I rent and the electric is in the landlords name. So because I don't have the account number, phone number associated with the account or the meter number I can let them know. How unsafe is this. Why can I use the address. This is so unsafe. But it's no big deal I'm only a single dad with one child in the house.
