REXBURG — Around 3,000 Rocky Mountain Power customers are in the dark Friday night and may be for some time.

Power outages were first reported around 7 p.m. The majority of those without electricity are in Rexburg but about 200 customers in the Firth area are also affected.

Rocky Mountain Power says lightning is the cause for the outage in Firth while a damaged line caused lights to go out in the Upper Valley.

Electricity is expected to be restored by 4:30 a.m. You can see the latest information on the outages here.
