GLASGOW — Nearly 14,000 are still without power across much of Farmers RECC’s service area.

The utility issued an update just before 9:30 Friday evening. They said crews were out and working to restore power.

“With the magnitude of this outage event, restoration could take multiple days,” a news release said. “Members who have electricity dependent medical or other equipment may want to make alternate plans.”

Crews are working at full strength to make repairs and restore power to everyone “as quickly and safely as possible,” they said.

Farmers RECC asks for members to be patient as crews work to restore service.

Because of the widespread nature of this event across multiple states, mutual aid assistance is severely limited.

Farmers RECC reminds its members to stay away from fallen power lines. Always assume that any line is conducting electricity.

Outages should be reported to their mobile app, through their member center or by calling (270) 651-2191. There were phone issues earlier in the evening due to internet problems, a spokesperson for Farmers RECC told WCLU News.
