9pm Update

MLGW currently has about 9,000 customers without power.

● Restoration numbers have progressed slowly today, mainly because the type of work MLGW crews are doing requires these areas to stay de-energized to make it safe for our employees. Restoration numbers have improved over the past several hours. We have more than 125 crews currently in the field whose primary focus is the heavily damaged areas in the south part of the I-240 loop, including the Orange Mound and Colonial Acres areas.

● Customers still without power are asked to leave their back gates accessible for MLGW employees if their electric lines are in the back yard. MLGW crews experienced some difficulties today gaining access to some areas where gates are locked.

● Next update will be at 9 a.m.
