Ongoing frigid temperatures have prompted TVA to request VOLUNTARY energy curtailment across the NES service area. Customers are asked to reduce electricity use by following simple measures in your home. Turn off lights when not in the room, hold off on doing laundry and running the dishwasher. Cook meals in the microwave, air fryer or toaster oven, rather than a large capacity electric oven. For more energy saving tips, visit nespower.com/ways-to-save/e…. Keep following NES on social media for ongoing updates. #EnergySavingTips

@tjedlowski @HarpethHall Right back at you, my friend. You inspire me — not only in your calling as an advocate for the @tndisability coalition and individuals with disabilities but also in your capacity to create powerful change through collaboration. Hope our paths cross again soon!

However brief, catching up with @JLBliss is every bit as lovely, poignant, and hilarious as she is. Good to see you friend! Keep up the great work. @HarpethHall is unbelievably blessed to have you.

Anxiety can be greatest while you sit and wait. What can you do now? Go to your safe place, and make sure it's cleaned out just in case you need it. Lowest level away from windows. Make sure your phone/devices are charged. Check your NOAA Weather Radio.

Hot off the press update from the SPC. Within 25 miles of you, there is an "x" chance of these happening today. Tornado: 10% (also a 10% chance of EF2 or stronger), Severe T'storm winds: 30% (also 10% chance those winds are 74 mph+), Large Hail: 5%.

Nice story here. Also, even cooler when you understand it was done by a high school student. Another @HarpethHall winterim intern impressed us all. wpln.org/post/curious-n…

The @CoMissourian set the path for my future. From Columbia, Mo., to internships @columbiatribune, @clevelanddotcom and the @washingtonpost and then on to 19 years with @Tennessean. People’s stories matter. Telling them is a responsibility and a privilege. Thx Mizzou #mizzoumade

Did you know that the woman who established the world’s first modern neonatal intensive care unit is from Nashville? Dr. Mildred Stahlman’s groundbreaking work has saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of premature infants. She turns 100th today. harpethhall.org/news/p/~board/…

Thornton was lifting weights when a woman asked, “Can you do that & still have children? I guess you’ll never be cute doing that.” Thornton believes in strong girls. “You can either beat her up about not being ‘skinny’ or you can embrace the power.” Great writing, @Tpalmateer83!
