A close friend has been without power since Sunday morning.
Nashville Electric still shows 105,000 without power.
Officials are "raising questions about preparedness" of Nashville Electric.
Besides no power in the area, tree limbs knocked the electrical service panel off the friend's house. The electrician won't come to their neighborhood because of dangerous roads. This is suburban Nashville, not the boonies.
