Nearly 300 MidAmerican Energy customers were without power early Tuesday evening, May 26.

The outage map showed 94 customers without power on the Iowa side of the Quad Cities and just under 200 on the Illinois side. 

On the Illinois side, the outage impacting the most people was due to an equipment problem, according to the outage map.  This location was between East Moline and Carbon Cliff. There was no estimated time of restoration.

On the Iowa side, a vehicle crash had zapped power to more than 90 customers near Fejervary Park in Davenport, according to MidAmerican's map.  That outage was expected to be repaired by 8:30 p.m.

Other outages impacting a handful of customers were expected to get their power back between 8:15 p.m. and 10:15 p.m.
