Tuesday morning update

As of 10 a.m., approximately 3,900 Cullman EC members were without power.

Outages are still spread all over our service territory. The highest concentration of outages is located in the southwest portion of Cullman County, including the communities of Arkadelphia, Bug Tussle, Bremen, Sulphur Springs and Trade (just to name a few).

More than 50 Cullman EC employees having been working in the field since 5 a.m. They are being assisted by linemen crews from Cullman Power Board Central Alabama Electric Cooperative, as well as contract lineman crews and tree trimming crews.

Many of the remaining 3,900 members should have their electrical service restored today, but for some people, it's going to be at least another day. Just being honest. Due to broken poles and the distance between many of the outages, there just aren't enough hours in the day to make all of the repairs during the next 12-14 hours.
