Lincoln Electric System says power is back on for all residents who lost it during last nights storms.

Spokeswoman Rachel Barth said there were several small outages reported throughout Lincoln, but there were not any widespread outages. 

According to LES falling tree limbs caused most of the damage. Extra crews were called in to keep up with the demand so power could be restored to residents quickly. 

One transformer was struck by lightening near 40th and Van Dorn causing several traffic lights to lose power. Crews were able to fix it quickly and all signals are now back on.
