Clarksville, TN – Shortly before midnight a line of severe storms moved across our service area. These storms contained damaging straight-line winds, lightning and hail. Our system has suffered major damage as a result.
At about 1:30am we had 20 circuits out. We estimate that 25,000 customers were without service at that time. We have been getting multiple reports of trees down, wire down, poles broke and poles down, wire laying in yards and across roads, etc.
Additional contract crews are being sent to assist us in our restoration efforts. We have made some progress. We now have 11 circuits out of service. We now estimate that we have 12,000 customers without power.
We will keep everyone posted as information becomes available.
