Overnight storms have caused flash flooding and power outages in St. Joseph and throughout the Midland Empire.

St. Joseph police caution motorists to watch for flash flooding over streets. Faraon Street from 31st to the Belt Highway had water over the road earlier this morning.

Evergy reports slightly more than 1,000 St. Joseph customers are without power this morning. Scattered outages have been reported in Savannah, Mound City, the White Cloud/Oregon area, Stewartsville, and parts of Doniphan County, Kansas.

A transformer blew overnight, knocking out power in much of south St. Joseph.
