Crews faced additional challenges today as the wind wrecked havoc on the lines and made it tough hanging wire. It even caused some additional outages. All in all it was still positive. Here are a couple of the great views linemen have sent in over the past few days! Thank you for your continued support. We currently have 1,230 member without power.

Winds have been very strong today; unfortunately, we now have another 700 members out due to the wind. We are aware of these new outages and crews continue to work.
