A fast-moving line of severe thunderstorms rolled through Audrain County late Wednesday night, toppling trees and leaving more than 1,800 Ameren Missouri customers without power.
Mexico Fire and Rescue responded to four reports of trees on structures, including one on Williams Street where a large oak fell on a carport.
Power was restored to most customers by Thursday morning, though some rural customers remained without service into Thursday afternoon. No injuries were reported.
