Much of what we have feared and warned about all week is coming true tonight, unfortunately. These maps represent power outages in just two of our service counties - Tishomingo and Alcorn in Mississippi. You can see that large numbers of people are without power during this unprecedented weather event, and the weather tonight and tomorrow will only bring more hardship. Please, please, please check on your neighbors and family members, especially those on medical equipment like oxygen or ventilators.
Our service area is too broad to list every warming center that is open, but a quick search of social media will tell you about churches, town halls, and community centers that are offering a warm cot and electricity. If you need these tonight, please find a safe way to get there. If you can manage until tomorrow, perhaps the roads will improve by then. And of course, if you’re in medical distress, call 911 and pray they can get to you in time. The roads are impossible tonight.
Say a prayer for your local electrical linemen tonight, because their job will be the most difficult job out there. May God’s hand keep them safe as they serve our communities!
