We will not stop until all power is restored," NES said in a tweet. "We appreciate our customers' patience as we repair major damage across the service area. Some customers with independent, individual outages might not see their power back for up to five to seven days though, once crews pivot to individual outages. "At the storm’s peak, it knocked out power to about 95,000 customers and broke nearly 120 power poles, which take longer to repair and replace," according to an NES email Sunday morning.Įngineering crews and bucket crews are focused on the most heavily damaged areas with the largest number of outages Sunday, and NES expects to restore power to "all major infrastructure circuits by Monday," according to the utility. Meanwhile, by late afternoon Sunday, about 5,500 customers are still without power as Nashville Electric Service continues to work to restore service after this weekend's severe storms. Teams out of the NWS Memphis office were also surveying damage in West Tennessee on Sunday.
