Downtown Topeka power outage affecting 800 customers


TOPEKA, Kan. (KSNT) – Around 800 Topekans in the downtown area just shy of the Kansas Statehouse are without power Tuesday night, according to Evergy’s outage map.

The outage isn’t affecting the Topeka city council meeting close to the area. However, City of Topeka Director of Planning and Development Bill Fiander, who is joining the meeting via Zoom, told the council he called into the meeting from his car. The outage left him trapped in his parking garage.

This is a developing story. Watch Evergy’s outage map below for live updates:
