Two different reports of downed power lines later Monday evening affected over 1,040 Cannon County residents. Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation worked feverishly to restore those lines due to the severe weather. On average power was restored within a 3 hour period.

The electric provider that also serves much of Rutherford County, kept busy working several power line outages throughout its service area. Reports of 2,133 residents and businesses in one area were without power.

As previously reported, the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency activated the Tennessee Emergency Management Plan and declared a State of Emergency Monday night.
