The ice storm has created widespread power outages in DeKalb County.

Caney Fork Electric Cooperative Monday afternoon reported power outages on Cookeville Highway, Nashville Highway, Dowelltown, Liberty, and Short Mountain Road due to a tree down on two circuits outside of the substation. The tree had to be cut away causing the need for extensive repairs.

If you are without power and have urgent needs that require electricity please try to use other alternatives until your electricity is restored.

CFEC work crews are working to restore power as quickly as possible.
