The rolling blackouts that occurred in December 2022 were followed by it. Given the likelihood of strong winds on Friday night and the possibility of severe weather the following week, WSMV4 Investigates set out to determine how long it will be until NES fully implements its push notification system.

Wanda Augustin spent more than twenty-four hours without light after the tornadoes that struck her Madison neighbourhood last month. As Augustin put it, “It was just dark.” “We pulled out and lit every single candle.”

She claimed that her electricity company didn’t get in touch with her at that time. NES stated that it is addressing that issue.

During the tornadoes last month, NES said it texted over 22,000 customers to provide them with information on the whereabouts of their personnel and an approximate timeframe for when the lights would be turned back on.

“It would be great if they could text me and let me know what’s going on,” Augustin stated.

It’s a component of their push notification system, which according to NES is still in its early phases. NES refused to provide an estimated date of completion for its development. As to their statement, they are “constantly improving its functionality.”

How then does it operate? Customers should make sure that their cell number is updated on their online account, as NES messages the primary contact on the account. Additionally, users can subscribe to text or email updates and view their outages on the NES online map.

Hennessy Espana, 26, of Nashville, was slain in a two-vehicle collision in the 200 block of Old Hickory Boulevard on Friday at 10:50 a.m., according to the police.

The driver of an Audi sedan lost control of his car during a severe downpour and went into oncoming lines of traffic. The Ford F-150 pickup truck struck the Audi on its passenger side.

Espana passed away at Vanderbilt University Medical Centre while being transported in the Audi’s passenger seat. The driver, 26-year-old George Lutz, was also taken to VUMC with minor injuries.
