Clay Electric crews are working to assess the damage from Hurricane Milton and will work as quickly and safely as they can to restore power to members' homes and businesses. At 8:15 a.m. on Thursday, approximately 35,000 are without power as the storm continues into the Atlantic.

Outages are much lower than they were at the crux of Hurricane Helene.

Some things we ask all members — both with and without power — to please consider as our employees work to bring homes and businesses back online:

• Please don’t disturb personnel who are working in the field. Doing so hinders power restoration efforts.
• Locked gates slow down power restoration. Our crews might need to pass through your gate to get the lights on.
• If you or someone in your home has medical issues, please seek other arrangements where there is power until repairs have been made. Call 911 if you have a life-threatening emergency.
