Power Outage Update for Saturday, September 28, 2024

 **3.47pm** POWER OUTAGE UPDATE

SATURDAY 09-28-2024
(remember that a power utility customer may include a household with multiple people, the actual number of people w/o power is higher)
.**NOTE--The internet is off at my location. I (Bobby) will be going into town every few hours to post updates. This will my last update until tomorrow unless something major happens. Y'all be safe, and if you can hunker down without risking your life, do so for the next few days. Power, phone, and internet providers are working overtime to restore services. Macon County Emergency personnel and volunteer firefighters are doing their best to respond to live safety issues and make welfare checks.


Here is an article Macon Media published Wednesday regarding non-emergency phone numbers to use.
