NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — Nashville Electric Service (NES) crews worked through the night to continue restoring power to customers who were affected by the storms in Middle Tennessee Saturday, according to the NES website.
NES says crews have braved winds and rain to restore power to more than 41,000 customers, however there are still about 13,000 customers without power. The majority of outages are in the Downtown, Old Hickory, Madison and Hendersonville areas.
"The storm broke more than 20 power poles that will need to be replaced or repaired" NES stated. "Rain and flooding in some areas may slow restoration efforts, however, more than 200 NES and contract personnel are working quickly and safely to assess the damage and restore power."
