NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Following Saturday's severe weather, tens of thousands remain without power across Middle Tennessee. In addition there's also a number of road closures in place due to the storm.
Shelters have since opened up across the area to help those in need as well.
As of 1 p.m. on Monday, here are the outage details:
NES- 4,165
CDE- 10,558
We will continue to update this page as these numbers change.
NES says after additional assessment, crews determined all of the major damage occured in a straight line between River Road area and the TVA transmission tower in Wilson County. Crews are reporting at least 19 transmission lines down and 134 power poles broken.
"We expect some of these outages could last days not hours, but crews are working rotating 24-hour shifts to quickly and safely restore power. Additional contract crews from Kentucky and Georgia arrived today to assist in our restoration effort," NES said in a statement.
