On Monday morning, the power went off for Parnell, Sheridan, and Grant City at around 4:30 am. Crews were working on the Parnell substation. Service was restored around 5:45 am. Just five minutes later, the transformer at the Grant City Hy-Vee substation blew, causing the street lights to flash on and off several times before power went off again at 5:53 am. Over 600 people were without power in Grant City, along with the line that runs east to Allendale along with the line that runs south along Route 169 for several miles. Service was not restored until 9:30 am that morning.
Worth County continued to have school that morning; the school is on United Electric, which was not affected by the outage. The affected areas were on the Evergy lines.
