April 3, 2025 (Bowling Green, KY) Severe storms passing through the area last night caused widespread power outages. Strong winds caused numerous broken poles and downed power lines throughout the Warren RECC territory. At the height of last night’s storm, approximately 7,000 members were without power. As of 8:45 a.m. CDT, we have approximately 500 members without power and 23 broken poles. We expect to restore power to all members from last night’s storms today, as long as weather conditions continue to permit us to work.
We are closely monitoring the weather, as we expect additional rounds of severe weather this evening and possibly this weekend. We also expect rainfall to continue throughout the weekend. Those factors could result in additional outages and will make restoration difficult. We will restore all outages as soon as it is safe to do so, and we request patience as we work through this lengthy weather event.
We will continue to provide updates as information becomes available. Please remember to stay away from downed power lines. If you see a downed power line, please report it to one of our outage lines: In Warren County call 270-843-9710. Outside Warren County, call 1-888-604-4321.
