From Jackson Energy Authority –

Outage Update: Crews have been working through the night to restore power. We are currently down to approximately 2500+ outages scattered across our service area.

We have approximately 20+ poles down so we are facing heavy construction to get those replaced.

Crews from Lexington, Humboldt, Brownsville, and contract crews from Nashville are assisting us with restoration efforts.

Our plan is to hopefully have power restored by Friday evening. We can’t stress enough, if you see a downed power line, always assume it’s live and stay away. We also ask that you avoid areas where our crews are working.

Thank you to all that have been working; we will continue to pray for your safety! Those still without power, we appreciate your patience.
