We currently have around 600 members without power from the storms that moved through the service area overnight. Outages stretch from west to east across the area. Limbs and trees may be down on power lines, so if you come to a downed tree, please stay away until it can be cleared. Just because a line is down, does NOT mean it is de-energized. Always stay safe.
Pictured is some of the damage from the storms that moved through the service area overnight. Crews are finding downed trees and limbs sometimes on the way to the outage location. We have 1,095 members without power and crews are working the lines to find the trouble. Thank you for your patience.
HOEC Crews have been out working on outages most of the night and we are getting members restored. In some cases it is just checking out the line for damage and turning a breaker back on that might have gotten tripped by lightning.
Due to the storms and lightning, we currently have over 1200 members without power across our service area. Dispatch is aware of the outages and has dispatched crews. As these storms move through we might have additional issues.
