Most area of the city had power restored Monday morning after a brief, but stormy Sunday night in the Heartland.

OPPD says about 50 customers are still without service.

An area around Burke High School near 122nd and Burke Boulevard was without power causing classes at the school to be cancelled Monday. An underground cable in the area failed. By late morning OPPD says power in that area was back on.

OPPD reported more than 10,000 customers were left without power Sunday night after thunderstorms rumbled through the metro bringing strong winds, rain, lightning, and hail.

Damage was scattered throughout the area. "I was just sitting in my basement doing homework and I heard this loud thunder, so I ran upstairs to see what happened and in my brother's room the ceiling, there was a little bit on fire, so I called 911," said Zain Haq of Omaha. Firefighters said lightning hit at the peak of the roof, starting a small fire on the inside of the eave. "There was a lot of smoke," said Omaha Battalion Chief Gary Kafka. "It was a big storm that moved through, probably five minutes, but it produced a lot of lightning."

"I think the rain helped the fire a lot because if it wasn't for the rain, it would have been pretty bad," said Haq. Though the rain may have helped there, it made it treacherous on the interstate. Richard Schneider of Indiana was hauling a 27-foot camper when he felt some huge wind gusts. "We're talking 70-80 mile per hour, no kidding. All of the sudden I hear this big bang, it tore the hitch right out of the back of my truck and the camper is laying in the ditch." Schneider was heading to Colorado for a delivery. Now he'll be spending the night in Omaha, hoping he can get his trailer hauled out of the ditch sometime Monday.

The winds also uprooted a large tree which damaged a home near 46th and Bedford. Some roof damage was reported in Lincoln, where a quarter-inch of rain fell.

Meanwhile, winter kept its grip on western Nebraska where blizzard conditions forced the closure of 100 miles of Interstate 80 from the Interstate 76 junction to the Wyoming state line. U.S. Highway 30 also was closed from Big Springs to the Wyoming line, and State Highway 71 was closed south from Kimball to the Colorado line. Winds with heavy snow dropped visibility to near zero in some locations.

A blizzard warning was in effect for the Panhandle and portions of southwest Nebraska until early Monday. Up to eight inches of accumulation was expected. Winds of 20-25 mph were causing drifting snow in the Scottsbluff area.
