East Tennessee Storms: Why Outages Are Here to Stay

Weather That Won’t Wait

East Tennessee is no stranger to thunderstorms, tornado warnings, and ice storms. From Chattanooga to Knoxville, storms can knock out power for hours—or days.

Unfortunately, experts say outages are only becoming more frequent and longer-lasting.


Why Outages Are Getting Worse

  • Aging Power Grid: More strain on older infrastructure.

  • Severe Weather: Storms are stronger, with more flooding and ice.

  • High Demand: Growing communities place more stress on utilities.

That means power reliability in Tennessee isn’t improving any time soon.


How Generators Solve the Problem


A Generac whole home generator ensures your household:

  • Stays powered through any storm

  • Keeps heating and cooling systems running

  • Protects food and medicine from spoiling

  • Maintains comfort and safety in every season

When the grid fails, your generator takes over instantly.
