Early voting begins tomorrow (10/13)!
As you prepare to vote, take time to learn about the issues that impact electric cooperatives, infrastructure, and the communities we serve.
As the sun sets on a long day, we want to thank our Members for their patience. We know some of you have been without power for many hours, and we appreciate you hanging in there with us.
Today’s favorable weather allowed restoration work to continue steadily, and additional assistance has arrived to continue progress through the night.
As a reminder, outages cannot be reported through social media, and we unfortunately cannot provide estimated restoration times. Please continue reporting outages through our reporting tools as we work through these final hours.
Safety remains our top priority, always.
Our crews are working nonstop, and help is on the way. Additional line crews from Marietta Power, Planters EMC and Cannoochee EMC are en route to support restoration efforts.
As you can tell by the photos, most of the outages we’re seeing are caused by fallen trees and limbs. While Carroll EMC maintains its rights-of-way, heavy wind and rain can still bring trees into power lines, particularly those weakened by the pine beetle epidemic.
A few important reminders:
🔴 Social media is not monitored for outage reports. Please use the Outage Pal app or call (770)-832-3552 (option 1).
🔴 Restoration times vary based on the specific circumstances of each outage, so estimated restoration times are not currently available.
✅ If there is a downed line, stay far away and report it to 911.
✅ Keep your refrigerator/freezer doors closed to help keep food cold.
Thank you for your patience as crews continue working to safely restore power. We’re thankful the cooler weather is making these outages a little more manageable.
🎄 Our outage map is looking a little more festive than we’d like this morning.
Strong wind gusts from Hurricane Isaias have caused widespread outages across our service area. With gusty conditions expected to continue throughout the day, additional outages are possible. Our crews are working across the system to restore power safely and as quickly as possible.
As Hurricane Isaias moves inland and potentially affects our area, remember:
⚠️ Stay away from downed power lines and call 911 to report them.
📱 Download the Outage Pal to report outages and view the outage map.
We'll be ready to respond if outages occur. Stay safe!
#Repost We might see some heavy rain and strong winds this weekend from the outer bands of Hurricane Isaias. Take a few minutes to prepare now so you're ready if severe weather impacts our area.

Headed out dove hunting this weekend? Never shoot at birds on or near power or fiber lines. A single shot can result in outages, service interruptions and expensive damage to utility infrastructure.
Trends may change, but you know what doesn't? Kindness.
You'll always be greeted with a smile at Carroll EMC 😄 #ThrowbackThursday
