Paris, Tenn.–There still are some 350 Henry Countians without power and the workers at the Paris Board of Utilities are continuing restoration efforts this morning.
BPU Marketing Director Meagan Hart said along with the 350 customers still without power, there are over 20 broken poles and several miles of downed wire that still need to be repaired.
“Our crews, along with the four outside crews, expect to have Rabbit Creek, Jones Bend Extended, Rowe School Rd., 641 N, the remaining houses on Old Paris Murray and Pled Wade restored by end of day today,” she said. “We will also have multiple crews working in the Cypress area and expect to have some houses in that area restored by end of day as well.”
In the immediate aftermath of Friday night’s tornadoes, there were some 1,800 customers without power in multiple outage locations throughout the county, as well as 50 broken poles, extensive downed lines and a great deal of debris to clear through.
