Fredericktown, MO – Black River Electric Cooperative and visiting crews completed power restorations Friday evening to members hardest hit by last week’s EF-3 tornado. 9,800 members were without power at the storm’s peak and now every member who is able to receive power, has been restored. Crews replaced 355 broken poles, dozens of transformers and miles of powerlines.
BREC General Manager Paul Montgomery is thankful for the outpouring of support, “Thank you, BREC members, for your patience and understanding during this storm’s recovery. We deeply appreciate the support from our fellow cooperatives for sending their resources, as well as our partnering line and right of way contractors in our time of need.”
Our thoughts and prayers continue for the families and communities affected by this destructive storm. We were honored to do our part to begin the rebuilding process
