Nearly 800 Franklin County Residents without power

There have been several posts on Social Media of Southeastern Illinois Electric Co-Op customers being without power.

I could not get a closer image on my tablet, but I could on my PC.  There is huge area, from around where Old Ben 25 was, all the way past Akin, into Hamilton County.  There are 789 customers without power.

I know sometimes Ameren shares the same power grid, and  there are no power outages to my knowledge in the city limits of Logan and Thompsonville.

Several have posted there has been a fire at the Parrish substation.

I will try to make contact with Southeastern Illinois Electric Co-op to see if they will give me more information. -sd
