More than 24,000 were without power in Bullhead City on Sunday morning after a storm disabled a transformer.

Many residents of the Mohave County city have been without power since 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Mohave Electric Cooperative crews were working to restore power to the area. 

The Northern Arizona Chapter of the American Red Cross opened a cooling station at the Suddenlink Community Center, at 2380 Suddenlink Way, on Sunday morning. The emergency station will provide relief from the heat, water and snacks. Leashed pets are allowed.
