Frozen fire hydrant in winter storm
Multiple days without power is taking its toll on both our spirits and on Middle Tennessee’s infrastructure.
Water main breaks and power loss to pumping stations is causing more water outages as Nashville thaws and nearly 100,000 people are still in the dark with no heat. Many residents are at a loss for what to do next.
In this episode, we air Metro Nashville’s daily press conference live from Mayor Freddie O’Connell’s office, a live interview with Metro Water Services deputy director Brent Freeman, a few hotel dispatches and a check-in on our tiniest (and cutest) residents.
