It’s day two of our live coverage of the large-scale snow and ice storm affecting all of Middle Tennessee.

Hundreds of thousands of Middle Tennesseans remain in the dark and cold. As crew members work to restore the power grid to normal operations, we bring you answers to the questions many of us have — as well as the latest on where the region stands in terms of power and emergency management.

Call 615-760-2000 to join the conversation during the show — or leave a voicemail with your question or comment at 615-751-2500.

Guests

  • Alex Pellom, Chief of Staff, Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA)
  • Amy Byers, Marketing & PR coordinator, Middle Tennessee Electric
  • Brent Baker, Vice President and Chief Customer Innovation Officer, Nashville Electric Service (NES)
