As we enter day 4 of sweeping power outages across the city, more resources are coming on line for folks who need them. But is it enough? We’ve got the latest on our winter storm disaster, plus: After spending days trapped — and in many cases, freezing — in our homes, we’re gonna be looking for ways to connect once the ice melts. Sarah Beth Schulte from The Tip Jar Nash joins host Marie Cecile Anderson to give us her advice on how to find your people here in Music City, from meetups for introverts to the best dating events. 

Report power outages to NES by texting OUT to 637797.

Please reserve 911 for emergencies, including downed power lines. For everything else, call 311 or visit hubNashville

Metro has opened emergency warming locations at fire stations and community centers. These will be open 24/7. Bring what you need to stay as long as you need. To request a ride to a warming shelter, call 615-401-1712.
