In an update to our report Tuesday afternoon from Audubon County Emergency Management Coordinator Philip Mennenoh, officials with the City of Kimballton say the City is currently in a brown out situation. Not all residents are effected. There is an issue with the transformer at the substation, and repair means are being sourced. This issue was discovered Tuesday.

Officials say the city is working as hard as possible to alleviate the problem and get full power back, but it is unknown the duration this outage. There will be a cooling center located at the town hall and will be open 12pm to 8pm if residents are needing a place to go to cool off. As more information is known it will be passed on.
