April 3 Storm Update - 7AM

Broken Pole

Farmers RECC currently has approximately 900 members without power, down from 2,100 at the height of the outage event.

Crews have made significant headway since storms began and are expecting to see more progress as daylight hours reveal the extent of the damage. Work has been complicated by the saturated ground, downed trees and debris.

Farmers RECC does not expect complete power restoration until Friday, barring any unforeseen complications. Members who have electricity dependent medical or other equipment will need to make alternate plans.

While we know this isn’t the news anyone wants to hear, our crews will continue to work diligently until each and every one of our members is restored.

Farmers RECC currently has contracted construction and right-of-way crews on site, with additional crews from Nolin RECC assisting with restoration. This is in addition to our own dedicated workforce.

Farmers RECC reminds its members to stay away from fallen power lines. Always assume that any line is conducting electricity. In addition, if you are using a power generator, make sure you are doing so safely. For more safety information, visit our website at farmersrecc.com/outages.

Please report outages to on our Mobile App, through our Member Center or by calling 270-651-2191. For current outage information, check the Farmers RECC’s Outage Viewer at www.farmersrecc.com and follow us on social media for updates.

We appreciate our members thoughts and prayers during this time as our employees work to restore service.
