Cobb EMC Outage Update

The recent winter storm that hit Cobb County has left many residents without power, with Cobb EMC reporting widespread outages across the area. As the county continues to work towards restoring electricity, we will provide updates on the status of the outage and any necessary information for residents.

As of this morning, Cobb EMC reports that over 50,000 customers are affected by the outage, with crews working around the clock to restore power. The company has promised to provide regular updates on their website and social media channels, and we will do our best to keep you informed as well.

In addition to the power outages, many East Cobb businesses, faith communities, and organizations have also been affected by the storm. Several schools and churches have announced closures or cancellations of events, while others are operating under modified schedules. We will continue to provide updates on these developments throughout the day.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for Cobb County, with temperatures expected to rise into the low 50s later in the day. While this is welcome news, it also means that any remaining ice and slush on roads could become even more hazardous as the temperature increases.

For those who rely on public transportation, CobbLinc has announced that local and paratransit service will resume at noon today, while XPress bus services are cancelled until further notice. Motorists are advised to exercise extreme caution when driving, as many side streets remain problematic due to ice and slush.

Fortunately, there have been no reports of serious injuries related to the storm, although several accidents did occur over the course of the past 24 hours. Cobb DOT reported 50 instances of black ice throughout the county overnight, which contributed to the high number of accidents.

As the county continues to recover from the storm, we will do our best to keep you updated on any developments related to power outages, road conditions, and other important information. Stay safe and stay warm!
