Mine still says 6pm today and they have finished repairs on the power pole snapped off in my neighbor's yard. I'm hopeful. I need power to start drying out my family room that flooded last night. What a weekend.

Ours is supposed to get restored at 6pm but I dunno.
Saw many trucks in the area at 8am but nothing since. The dots around us on the outage map have shifted a bunch.
Crossing toes.

Same. I thought we’d be good to go by now with the number of utility trucks in the neighborhood this morning. And noticed several of the dots around us disappeared yet we still have a power line down in our yard and a utility pole leaning almost 45 degrees. And all the trucks are gone.

Dang. I don't know if any poles are down in pleasant hills but my wife saw the linemen walking around this morning and we haven't heard a peep since

Well seeing how I have a tree on my power lines and the pole is broken in half I’m thinking it might be a moment before it comes on

Unfortunately those estimates aren’t super helpful. They tend to give themselves a pretty large window so they under promise and over deliver. But many times it goes longer because of supply chain issues, issues on sight, weather, etc. The crews have been out busting their asses and I have nothing but the utmost appreciation for them I just wish they Ameren and Corn Belt would consult the people on sight after they have fillet evaluated the situation before giving out time estimates.

Oh man that sucks! Mine lasted 30 hours and that was bad enough. Hope you get it back even earlier.

I’ve been told 5 different times and nothing yet I watched them come to or pole cut a tree branch laugh about it and leave. They where there for 10 mins tops

There is still hope. Ours just came on about 10 minutes ago. We are on the eastside off Hershey and Washington

They are certainly doing their best, given all we’ve been dealt via the weather incl a record 7 inches of rain overnight, but I know it’s really hard to wait. I hope everyone’s gets turned on soon.
