Due to the strong winds and thunderstorms that entered the area around midnight on Sunday, Fort Loudoun Electric Cooperative experienced substantial damage across its service area.

At the peak of the outages early Monday morning there were approximately 2,700 members without power. As of Monday afternoon, power has been restored to all but 457 members. FLEC, with the aid of neighboring utilities and contract crews, continues to work around the clock to restore the electricity.
