Power and weather behind internet outages in St. Louis
Ameren Missouri customers averaged 148 minutes without power in 2024, across 0.77 interruptions each, against 224 minutes for Missouri as a whole. Cable nodes and fiber cabinets run on batteries that last hours, not days, so a long power cut can take internet down even for homes whose own power has returned. See St. Louis power outages when both go out together.
St. Louis logged 77 storm reports since 2015, most often hail, thunderstorm wind, and flash flood. Reports peak in July. Power outages were named in 4 of those storm episodes. Wind, ice and flooding damage poles and buried lines, which is how a storm turns into an internet outage as well as a power outage.
Fiber reports reach 54.6% of St. Louis homes, cable 96% and copper lines 53.8%. Where fiber runs to the home, a red or blinking LOS light on the optical terminal points to a line problem that a restart will not fix.
