MORAN — A cold front that barrelled into Allen County overnight with gusty northwest winds caused an extended power outage for several Moran residents.

City Clerk Taeler Carr said Evergy crews had to deal with disruptions south and east of Moran, keeping much of the town in the dark until after 7 a.m.

Because Evergy could not guarantee when power would be restored, Marmaton Valley-USD 256 officials called off school for Wednesday.

A wind advisory, with gusts up to 45 mph, remained in effect until Wednesday evening.
