Here are some pictures from our linemen in Shannon County. Water over the road is on Hwy 19 at Echo Bluff. Crews are still working to restore power but will need the water to recede to complete all repairs. Thank you for your patience.
These pictures from our linemen show the challenges they are working with to reach lines and restore power today.
We currently have 621 members without power. The outages are across our service area from Tecumseh to Eminence. Crews have been working most of the night and as day breaks, they will continue. There is extreme flooding, causing some areas to be unreachable at the moment. If you need to report a continued outage you may do so on the SmartHub app or our website www.hoecoop.org.
At this time we have 223 members without power from Willow Springs, Mountain View, Peace Valley, Dora and Caulfield. Dispatch is aware the outages and crew have been called in. Due to the flash flooding, some areas may be difficult to reach. Please bear with us as we work through these outages safely. If you come across water over the road, turn around, don't drown!
Today we honor the brave men and women who risk their lives to keep us safe. Thank you for your courage, dedication and sacrifice.
