Over 1,000 people lost power after a tree fell onto a road last night

As of 9:49 a.m. on Friday, KUB said 38 people were still without power on Woods-Smith Road.

Over 1,000 people in Knoxville lost power on Friday morning after high winds knocked down power lines last night. 

KUB tells 10News that an outage occurred when a large tree came down on Woods-Smith Road at 7:10 a.m. 

The tree broke two poles and brought down associated wires and equipment. 

Immediately after that, 1,040 people were without power. By 9:15 a.m. though, that number was down to 38. 

KUB says repairs can be expected through mid to late afternoon today.
