A message from NES:

Nearly 28,000 customers on the NES system are currently without power. Customers who need to report an outage should call 234-0000. Crews are working diligently to address outage issues. An outage map is available on the NES website at www.nespower.com. Some substations are flooded, and the flooding and weather conditions are presenting challenges for our crews. I'll continue to send updates throughout the day. NES will keep us posted on developments.
