We are now down to 245 members remaining without power out of the 788 members who lost power from this afternoon's severe storms. Crews continue to work to resolve all outages. Thank you for your patience, and be sure to stay away from downed power lines.

We currently have 788 members without power across much of our service area due to this afternoon's fast moving storms, including members near Winona, south of Caulfield, southeast of Peace Valley and areas east and south of West Plains. Dispatch is aware of the outages and crews are en route. Thank you for your patience, and be sure to stay away from downed power lines.

The HOEC office will be closed Monday May 26th for Memorial Day, as we remember and honor those who served. Dispatchers will be available in the event of a power outage. Outages may be reported with the SmartHub link at top-right, or in the SmartHub mobile app, or by phone at 417-256-2131 or toll-free 1-888-463-7693.

We wish you all a safe holiday weekend.
