@GovBillLee We are grateful to the NES workers. But the executives, you failed nashvillians; this storm came with plenty of warning You turned away workers who were willing to help. Almost 72 hours without power in this frigid temps. NES and state,you need to explain

We appreciate the TN linemen who are working around the clock to restore power & keep Tennesseans safe. Their unwavering dedication embodies the Volunteer Spirit, & we’re grateful for their service.

@NESpower NES your general updates are not useful. We live in Brentwood, off Murray lane and no useful info has been shared despite texting the 63779 number 3 times Please send us some updates

#NESOutageAlert January 26 4:30pm NES teams continue to work to make repairs and restore power to customers after freezing rain and ice impacted the NES service territory and have since restored power to 72,000 customers. NES and contracted lineworkers will continue operations in rotations, and they will remain on extended 14–16‑hour shifts to ensure we can continue responding quickly. To ensure the safety of our lineworkers, it is against NES policy to disclose locations where teams are working in the field. NES restores power by tackling areas affecting the largest number of customers first. We understand being without power is difficult, especially when conditions outside are extreme. Regardless of where a customer lives, all of our customer base is important, and our lineworkers are working hard to restore power to every last customer. No one will be forgotten or left behind; however, utility prioritization practices are to restore the greatest number of customers first. Right now: •There are about 163,000 customers currently without power •At least 161 broken poles have been reported across our service area NES has doubled its workforce since Saturday night and will be bringing in additional lineworkers this evening. Currently there are nearly 500 lineworkers deployed across our service area. Vegetation management teams and supplemental contract teams have been deployed to complement our restoration efforts and ensure lineworkers can continue reaching their sites efficiently. NES asks that customers ensure their homes are ready to receive power. If weatherheads, power masts, or meter bases are damaged, our lineworkers cannot safely reconnect power. NES maintains and repairs the lines leading to a customer’s home, but homeowners are responsible for the equipment on the house. If home equipment repairs need to be made, we strongly suggest contacting a licensed electrician for those repairs. Along with city officials, NES also continues to ask for the community’s help. If your power is out, do not call 911. We need to keep those lines open for emergencies. But if you see a downed power line, that is an emergency, so that is when it is appropriate to call 911. We ask that everyone stay away from downed power lines, and to always assume they are live and dangerous. With the temperatures expected to be in single digits tonight, we encourage customers without power to seek shelter with family and friends who have power or possibly a hotel or city warming center. How to Stay Updated •If you are without power, please report it by texting OUT to 637797 (NESPWR) from the phone number linked to your account, or by calling (615) 234‑0000. •NES will share restoration information on X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook throughout the event.

@krassenstein This is music to my years

A Few things to know about Tim Walz, the possible future Vice President of the United States: - Born in Nebraska. - Married with 2 children. - Command Sergeant Major in the Army National Guard for 24 years. - High School Teacher and Football coach. - 6-Term US Representative. - 2-Term Governor of Minnesota (Re-elected in 2022) - Moderate Democrat Known for his ability to work across the aisle, Walz has a reputation for bipartisan collaboration. - Pro Business, Pro-balanced budget, Pro-farmer. He's the candidate that Trump feared the most because of his moderate policies and appeal to Independent voters in the Midwest.

🧠 External Ventricular Drain Safety: Essential Guidelines for Anesthesia Professionals 🧠 ❓What are external ventricular drains (EVDs)? An EVD is a multi-orifice catheter placed into the brain's cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) space (ventricle) to facilitate CSF diversion. Annually, over 25,000 patients in the U.S. require EVD placement, and these patients may present for care in the operating room or non-operating room locations.  🚨Safety concerns about EVDs EVD complications like overdrainage, under-drainage, inadvertent medication injection, and transport-associated intracranial pressure elevation can result in poor neurological outcomes. Many anesthesia professionals are not routinely comfortable managing EVDs, making education and proficiency essential.
