Power infrastructure isn’t just about hardware; it’s about resilience. Utilities are shifting from protecting individual assets to engineering networks that absorb disruption & maintain service, even when incidents occur. Resilience=continuity. #sponsored https://t.co/Fw5OWHdQVj

Thirteen Owen Electric linemen, along with a mechanic, depart to assist South Kentucky RECC with power restoration efforts following Winter Storm Fern. We ask for prayers for safe travel and safe work as crews respond.

[Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative ⚡️ @blueridgecoop]

The sun has set on a challenging day, so we want to provide a transparent look at where we stand. For most of the morning, Winter Storm Fern was manageable — but at 3 p.m., the storm sank its teeth in. Heavy ice and wind pushed our outage count from 3,000 to over 20,000 in just 90 minutes.

Reinforcements from Indiana are here, and more are on the way. We are not in this alone. We are proud to welcome aid from Georgia, and our sister co-ops in Berkeley and Horry Electric tonight. These crews will hit the ground running alongside our Blue Ridge teams tomorrow morning and will remain with us throughout this multi-day restoration effort.

Today also brought a sobering reminder of the dangers our teams face. This afternoon, a tree fell directly onto a Blue Ridge truck on Highway 8 while two of our linemen were headed to a call. We are incredibly relieved to report that both men are unharmed. These are dangerous and unforgiving conditions, and we truly believe those two were covered in prayer today.

Looking Ahead to Monday

- The System: We maintain over 7,400 miles of line. With the ground saturated and winds lingering, more trees may fall overnight.
- Reporting: If your power is out, please use the Blue Ridge App or text OUT to 800-240-3400.
- Office Notice: Our offices will be closed on Monday so that our entire team can remain 100% focused on restoration and member support.
- Medical Emergencies: If you or a loved one is in a life-threatening situation, please call 911.
- Downed Line Safety: Assume every downed power line is live and dangerous. Stay at least 30 feet away and call us immediately at 800-240-3400 to report it.

We won’t stop until the last light is back on. Your patience, your kind words, and your prayers mean the world to our employees and their families tonight.

Stay safe, Blue Ridge! 💙⚡
