We’re keeping an eye out for a weather system forecasted for our area. The biggest concerns are high winds with gusts up to 75 mph, thunderstorms and pop-up tornadoes. NES crews and equipment are staged and ready to respond. Predicted wind gusts as high as 75 mph can bring down vegetation, like trees or branches located near power lines. When vegetation gets entangled in NES electrical equipment, those power lines often snap and fall to the ground. Since January, crews have assessed and trimmed over 2,800 miles of additional lines to address overhanging and storm-damaged trees that pose risk of outages. Outages involving downed lines and broken poles take more time to restore.

Widespread Damaging Winds, Isolated Tornadoes Possible Sunday Evening/Night. Latest details in the blog here nashvillesevereweather.com/2026/03/14/wid…
