NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Nearly 200,000 NES customers are currently without power and the number is expected to rise.
According to NES, the combination of freezing rain and ice impacted the service area overnight, with trees being weighed down by ice causing them to snap and take down power lines.
Their teams are fully staffed and already in the field assessing damage and beginning repairs.
You're asked to stay away from downed power lines, and to always assume they are live and dangerous.
