Track current power outages in Poplar Bluff, Missouri — customers reported out, restoration progress, active weather alerts, and an independent restoration estimate. Poplar Bluff is a city in Butler County; when the serving utility's public feed reports Poplar Bluff directly, this page shows the city's own outage count and restoration time, with the county-wide view as context.
Who serves Poplar Bluff — and how this estimate works
Serving utilities tracked for Butler County include Liberty Utilities — Empire District (MO/AR/KS/OK). The estimate uses changes in the reported outage count, restoration progress, current weather, outage size, and available local history. It is independent and unofficial — when a utility posts an official restoration time, both are shown separately. We score our own estimates against what actually happened on the accuracy page. Outages below 5 customers are too small for a meaningful area-wide estimate — the page says so instead of guessing.

Does this page show Poplar Bluff specifically, or the whole county?
Both. When your serving utility's public feed reports Poplar Bluff directly, this page shows the city's own outage count and restoration time; otherwise it shows the Butler County county-wide view, which still covers Poplar Bluff.
How accurate is the restoration estimate?
Every estimate is later graded against when power actually came back, and the track record is published on our accuracy page. Estimates firm up a few hours into an outage once a steady restoration trend appears; very small outages are marked "too small to estimate" rather than guessed.
