As our crews started working the outages in larger numbers this morning, they will have the help of 12 members of the contractor crews and 4 crews (16 personnel total) from other Missouri Cooperatives for a total boots on the ground of around 80 personnel. We currently have 1,471 members without power. We still have members in Oregon County without power from the storms early Sunday morning. Additional outages occurred due to the tornadoes that caused damage in Northern Howell County and across Shannon County. Thank you for your continued patience as we work safely to restore power. Remember trees and limbs could hide downed power lines, so stay away and report the issues to us. You can call 417-256-2131 or 888-HOE-POWER. You can also report an outage on your smartphone through the SmartHub mobile app or on our website at www.hoecoop.org. Thank you again for your support and patience. This photo is just some of the tree damage our lineman are finding as they work to restore power. This is from the tornado path north of Mountain View.
