Our friends over at Nashville Electric Service also sent us an update. Their West Service Center, including their West Substation, was flooded and 15 employees had to be rescued from the roof on Sunday. They lost 37 trucks, including 19 bucket trucks, as well as one-third of the materials and tools that their linemen use to restore power.
On the good news front, their outages are down from 42,000 to 3,800 currently. Unfortunately, most of downtown is out and will remain out until at least Friday.
They've been relying heavily on Facebook and Twitter to communicate with their customers, with much success.
Here are a few pictures they sent:
We're keeping everyone in our thoughts and hoping that things return to normal as soon as possible.
