A tree falling across lines behind the hospital has caused an outage in Moulton affecting 1,700 members at this time. The tree broke a cross arm on a pole back in the woods in a swampy area. We had to bring in the track machine to get to it to make repairs. Crews are working now and should have the power back shortly as quickly and safely as possible.

We have an outage in the Bankhead forest along Hwy 33 caused by a car running off the road. It doesn’t look like anyone was hurt and crews are working now to replace the pole. Please watch out for them if you are driving in that area and be careful.
