Ameren Illinois says power is expected to be restored for all customers by 6 p.m. Thursday.

Some customers will still see their power restored Wednesday. Ameren says they will directly notify customers about their status.

As of Wednesday morning, the power company said it has restored 92,000 power outages since Monday night's storms. About 11,500 outages remain.

Ameren said Monday's storms included wind speeds of 105 mph, causing extensive damage. The utility said it has nearly 1,400 workers actively in the field.
