• Remaining outages: The largest outages remain with South Kentucky RECC, Jackson Energy, Warren RECC, Pennyrile Electric, Nolin RECC and Salt River Electric, and while many outages will be restored today, repairs in some of the hardest-hit areas may take days. Those assessments are ongoing as daylight breaks.

Co-op crews have responded with great effect to the storms that knocked out power to at least 35,000 members.
About 21,000 are without power now after high winds & gusts of 60mph+ brought down trees & limbs on power lines.
5am EDT Monday March 16
After surging to more than 35,000 members without power at one time, as of 5am, about 25,000 are without service.
Many outages in western Ky - where the storm hit - have been restored.
1am EDT Monday March 16
Total co-op members without power nearly 26,000, but the pace of outages has slowed as the storm system appears to weaken as it enters the Bluegrass region of Ky.
All hands on deck as restoration is already underway.
Humidity plays a major role in how comfortable your home feels, no matter the temperature. High indoor humidity can cause condensation on windows and make heating or cooling systems work harder.
