Oh, look. No power since last night, no meaningful updates. Where have we heard this before? @NESpower

[Busy Mom @Busymom]

Trying to get Nashville police non-emergency response. It is literally impossible. Caught in a voice menu loop that leads to nowhere.

PUT THE DAMN PRICES ON THE ITEMS IN THE STORE

[Busy Mom @Busymom]

Anyone besides me in Nashville out here trauma-buying survival items for power outages?

[Kristen Garcia Dumont @kgarciadumont]

Yall. I know I’m supposed to have a side in all of this. But I guess I’m just on the side of normal people. Am I alone in feeling like I’m just kind of done with all the politicians? Where were all yall a week ago? What are you actually going to DO about all of this? Enough words.

Nashville Ice Storm Recovery brought to you by too much coffee and Advil.

[Busy Mom @Busymom]

@MarshaBlackburn @NESpower Stop pandering to voters and do something tangible to help us.

[Mayor Jason Cole @JasonBCole]

Here is part of the problem

[Busy Mom @Busymom]

Today’s agenda for @NESpower, develop staffing plan and SOP for handling increase in customer calls during crisis.

[Busy Mom @Busymom]

Read this.

[Dan Fitzpatrick @DanDistrict7]

Yesterday, I read through NES’s 2025 board and committee records.

A detail stands out:

When NES reviewed its biggest operational risks, the executive listed as responsible for many of them had already retired 👻

And no replacement was in place.

Here’s that report.👇

@emzanotti Keep study the NES outage map? That’s requiring all my discipline

[Jaxie Pidgeon @JaxiePidgeon]

Lost refrigerated medications due to power outages? Help is here ⬇️

🏥 Nashville General Hospital is hosting a clinic TODAY, 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. to help residents replace prescriptions. @WKRN

Second on today’s agenda for @NESpower, hire AND PAY a fleet of top notch data and UI professionals for the website.

[Busy Mom @Busymom]

Today’s agenda for @NESpower: hire a full-time Communications Officer with experience in crisis management.

Also, read the room here, let’s phrase this differently.

[Nashville Electric Service @NESpower]

After a major storm like this, it’s important to know where our role ends and yours begins. NES maintains and repairs the lines leading to your house, but homeowners are responsible for the equipment on the house.

If your weatherhead, power mast or meter base are damaged, our crews cannot safely reconnect your power. You will need to contact an electrician licensed and registered by your county.

Get your equipment repairs scheduled as soon as possible so you can have power as soon as NES electrical service is restored.

@okiemjackson I’ll be better when we can get back in our house!

[Busy Mom @Busymom]

Twitter (I said what I said) is an absolute cesspool and shell of its former self (as intended, I imagine),

However, my new career trolling the electric company has reconnected me with a few old friends, some of you I’ve known for 23 or so years now.

[Busy Mom @Busymom]

Making my list of what we need to become preppers. We are now owners of an unplanned generator, but my remaining list is long.

[Busy Mom @Busymom]

@okiemjackson How are you?!

[Busy Mom @Busymom]

Railroad crossing arm running on generator. Should I stop and put gas in it?

[Busy Mom @Busymom]

@emzanotti Yep, our refrigerator is open to keep food frozen.

[Busy Mom @Busymom]

@MarshaBlackburn Stop. Not the time.
