Update from Huntsville Utilities at 9:30 p.m.: Approximately 2,100 customers are still without power. The biggest change since the last update is that more customers in south Huntsville are back on the system, though it is still the largest outage in the service area.
We also have confirmed a sixth utility pole down.
Crews will continue to work throughout the service area until all power is restored.
We appreciate the patience of our customers as crews work to restore service as quickly and safely as possible.
