A hail storm Sunday night left two-thirds of Lawrence temporarily without power. The storm’s effects caused damage to both University and individual property.

Karla Olsen, Westar Energy spokeswoman, said that all of Lawrence’s power had been restored. The outages were caused by a piece of equipment that fell on a main transmission line, setting off a chain reaction that affected other breakers.

Olsen said 21,500 of Westar’s customers were without power, including people who lived in some residence and scholarship halls. About 19,300 outages were restored within the hour. The other 2,200 without power had it restored within three hours, she said.

The loss of power on campus set back the publication of The University Daily Kansan’s Monday issue.

Jonathan Kealing, editor of the Kansan, said that a small crew from the newspaper had to make some quick decisions when Stauffer-Flint Hall, where the Kansan’s offices are located, lost electricity between 11:30 and 11:40 p.m.

He said that the building had damage to skylights and windows but that the damage was assumed to be over when the storm ended. The storm was over when the power outages occurred.

A crew of seven Kansan staff members hauled three computers to a conference room of the Lawrence Journal-World, where the Kansan is printed, to set up and prioritize what would be in the paper, scrapping stories as the paper was cut from 16 pages to 10 pages and setting up page designs. The paper wasn’t submitted until after 3 a.m., well after the normal 1 a.m. deadline.

The storm caused damage to temporary roofs that had been installed in buildings throughout campus after the March 12 microburst, said Mike Krings, University Relations spokesman. This caused minor leaks in campus buildings. Strong Hall’s roof was hit particularly hard, sustaining damage from 2-inch hailstones. Blake Hall and Robinson Center also sustained hail damage.

Krings said a power outage at the Computer Center east of Robinson caused computer problems throughout campus, including the Internet being down in some buildings Monday morning.

Krings said some vehicles were damaged. He said the University would not have a damage estimate in the next few days because it was hard to separate the damage from this storm and the damage from the microburst, which had been estimated at more than $6 million and was still being assessed, Krings said.

In Douglas County, damage counts and costs were not taken for the hail storm, said Paula Phillips, director of Douglas County Emergency Management.

“I know there’s damage out there, but nothing significant,” she said.

Phillips said that because most of the damage was to individual property, like cars and windows, much of it wasn’t reported.
