Edit:15+ hours with no power for quite a few here.
Electric company says now it may be back on by Friday or Saturday.

Boynton Valley substation was a related crisis that DREMC had not expected. One of TVA’s 161-kV steel transmission poles crumpled under the weight of ice-coated lines and fell on the substation’s tap. DREMC was able to back-feed some of the area served by Boynton. In the meantime, TVA was sending a replacement pole from Muscle Shoals.
