NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — As severe storms and tornadoes make their way through the Volunteer State and Midwest, power outages have been reported in multiple areas.
Nashville Electric Service said as of 11:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 8, just over 5,100 customers are without power.
The City of Springfield lost power to a "majority of the city" shortly after a suspected tornado crossed through Robertson County.
"We have lost power to the majority of the city," the city announced on its official Facebook page. "Please stay off city roads if at all possible. We are currently assessing the cause of the outages and crews will work to restore power. Please be mindful that the flash flood danger will continue to please use caution if you have to be out driving. Stay safe, Springfield!"
Springfield officials said power has since been restored to the majority of the city, but customers near Kinneys School Road continue to be affected due to fallen trees.

Nearly 2,000 Duck River Electric customers are also without power, with the majority of outages being reported near Columbia.
