Power outage in Nashville

Power outages have affected multiple regions due to various incidents, including a hit-and-run accident in Moses Lake that knocked out power to over 700 homes and severe weather remnants from Hurricane Helene in the Tri-State area, which brought down trees and power lines. In Florida's Big Bend region, Governor Ron DeSantis reported critical outages, with some areas potentially needing complete infrastructure rebuilding, delaying restoration. Meanwhile, storms have left many customers across Illinois and the Appalachian region without power, with Appalachian Power reporting around 180,000 customers impacted in West Virginia, Tennessee, and Virginia. Utility companies are actively assessing damages and restoring power with the help of additional crews from neighboring states. Residents are advised to stay informed and follow safety guidelines during these outages. Efforts to restore power are ongoing as state and local officials work with utility companies to address the widespread issues.
