At around 9 p.m., storms began moving through the city, prompting a follow-up news release from CPS Energy, which read, in part, "damaging winds along with heavy rain, hail and lightning strikes have affected power to more than 20,000 CPS Energy customers." The utility company said it has called in additional crew members to work through the night to restore power to affected homes.
