Over 200 American Falls homes still without power Thursday, local High School reopens as warming shelter

More than 200 homes in American Falls remain without electricity Thursday following yesterday's powerful storm, prompting officials to reopen American Falls High School as a warming shelter. Idaho Power says its crews are currently working around the clock to restore power to the area, though the utility provider has not yet released an estimated time for full restoration.

According to the neighboring Bingham County Sheriff's Office, the local high school will be available to residents starting at 6:00 PM tonight, once all scheduled school activities conclude.
