Severe storms have moved through our service area, and we are currently experiencing 26 outages affecting more than 370 members.

Damage is widespread, and multiple crews are out working to safely assess damage and restore power as quickly as conditions allow. We appreciate your patience as our crews work through the affected areas.

🚨 Please remember:

• Never approach or touch a downed power line. Always assume it is energized.

• Keep a safe distance from damaged electrical equipment and report downed lines to us.

• Call 911 for emergencies.

• Additional severe weather is forecast to move through the area this evening, so please remain weather-aware and be prepared.

We know being without power is frustrating, especially during severe weather. Our crews are working hard, and we will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.

Please stay safe!

School is back in session!

Pay extra attention to slow down in school zones, watch for kids crossing the street, and never pass a stopped school bus with flashing lights.
