A fallen tree struck a utility pole early Monday morning, knocking out power to nearly 1,400 residents and creating significant travel delays.

The incident, reported at 9:35 AM, left 1,382 members without electricity. Utility crews have been dispatched to the scene to assess the structural damage and perform ongoing repairs. Officials have stated that crews will work continuously until service is fully restored to all affected customers.

Concurrently, the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) reported related roadway impacts stemming from the event. At approximately 10:45 AM, debris on State Route 58 near Log Mile 13 forced the complete closure of all northbound and southbound lanes, with only the right shoulders remaining open. Motorists traveling through Meigs County are advised to expect delays, avoid the area, and exercise caution as repair and cleanup operations continue.
