Update on widespread outage due to strong winds

FPB estimates that approximately 7,000 to 8,000 services were without power at some point yesterday. As of 11 a.m (3/4/2023) we still had approximately 2,500 services without power.

The majority of the the larger issues are related to trees bringing down power lines and utility poles. We expect to make some significant progress today. We know the Collins Lane/Coverdale/Thistleton/Leawood area has been hard hit, but we expect to have the majority of that area back on today.

There are still numerous reports of lines on the ground that we are responding to as soon as we can. If you encounter any lines on the ground or hanging low, please don't not touch them and keep a safe distance.

Report all issues to FPB at 502-352-4372 and we will get to it as soon as possible. All of the Frankfort Plant Board crews with assistance from some of our municipal utility neighbors are actively engaged 24 hours a day in restoration efforts.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we repair the extensive damage as quickly and as safely as possible.

Those who are experiencing a non-emergent medical need should call 502-875-8550.
