The Evansville Fire Department has been busy since the storms broke out last night.
Between 7:00 last night and 7:00 this morning, the department handled five house fires, and a total of 174 other calls.
Most of those have been for power lines down and trees and limbs falling.
Center Point Energy has been all-hands-on-deck since last night dealing with more than 19-thousand power outages throughout the local service area.
Because of the volume of work, restoration may take awhile.
Center Point repair crews concentrate first on hospitals, nursing homes and other vital accounts before they work on residential restoration.
