6:34 p.m. 04/05/2025 Storm Update

 Our Storm Response Team has been working in horrible conditions—heavy rain, deep water, and thick mud. It’s been the kind of day where we could use Noah and the Ark. For members around and between Advance and Delta, ongoing rain is pushing the estimated restoration time to Monday afternoon. We also have a few outages in Stoddard County where flooding is preventing safe power and fiber service restoration. The team will get some much-needed rest tonight and regroup with breakfast and a safety meeting Sunday morning.
✅ Please, keep safety first. It may sound like a broken record, but we continue to hear stories of people getting stuck in floodwaters. Stay far away from downed power lines and never try to drive through high water—both can be deadly. We appreciate your patience and support as we work to get the lights and fiber back on.
 Thank you to the Rock ‘N’ Roll Drive-In and Chaffee Drive In for the special lunch today!
