Power Outage Reported, 7:40amCT: Back on at approximately 9amCT

UPDATED: 9:40amCT, Jerri Nixon in the Adair County Judge's Office said that the power is now back on.
UPDATED: At 8:20amCT, power was lost for a large portion of Adair County. At this time, Emergency Management Director Greg Thomas has reported that the problem is likely due to an East Kentucky Power Company transmission line to TRECC and KU. However, the exact source of the problem has not been identified, and it's not known how long the outage may last.

Judge Executive Ann Melton called and asked that no one call 911 unless it's a time-sensitive emergency. It's very important to keep the 911 lines open.

For information about the outage, you can follow updates on ColumbiaMagazine.com, or use radio. We've received word that Larry Smith is broadcasting on 92.7, thanks to a backup generator at their tower.

The day the lights went out all over Adair County

Just minutes later, at approximately 9amCT, power was restored. Customers of the South Kentucky RECC, Tri-County, and Farmers RECC were not affected by the outage.
