Winter Storm Landon 10:30 am Update
February 3, 2022 - Stoddard County, Mo. - SEMO Electric linemen are facing a phenomenon known as galloping conductors (electric/power lines). This phenomenon occurs when strong winds blow across ice-coated power lines, causing them to swing violently. Galloping conductors can damage power lines, insulators, and utility infrastructure, resulting in electric service outages. This also may cause flickers and/or frequent power disruptions in your home or business.
