Bellevue ice storm leaves thousands without power, NES warns of delays [CeTVNkgSpcb]
Thousands of Nashville Electric Service customers woke up without power Wednesday morning in Bellevue, a neighborhood of Nashville. The chainsaws were buzzing on Indian Springs Drive as neighbors try to make way for NES crews. Jim Armstrong tells FOX 17 News' Johnny Maffei he thinks this ice storm is worse than the one in 1994. On Monday, NES told him it could be until Friday or beyond to get the power back on. As of 9 a.m. on Wednesday, NES tells Maffei it hopes power is restored to all by the end of this upcoming weekend, but that is not a guarantee. Armstrong has been checking on his neighbors, has some gas to his generator and some firewood to stay warm, but not everyone was as prepared as him. FOX 17 News Anchor Jennifer Waddell asked NES Executive Vice President Brent Baker about customers concerns Wednesday morning. Maffei followed up with Baker later on which we will post when our crew gets back to the station. _______________ Follow! Like! Share! Subscribe!
