Power Outages Cause Chaos and Disruption in Nashville and Surrounding Areas
Strong storms in Nashville caused power outages, leaving thousands without electricity, including many restaurants and stores. The outages disrupted operations and forced closures, affecting residents like Carly Herron who found her desired restaurant closed. Over 30,000 Nashville Electric Service (NES) customers were affected, with entire strips of restaurants in both west and east Nashville losing power. NES crews, including assistance from Kentucky, are working to restore power as quickly as possible.
