GA-Power-logo(GAINESVILLE) – Not sure if the  two situations are related but power was our for about an hour for  much of downtown Cleveland  this morning,  at the same time  Thousands of Jackson EMC customers in the northern part of Hall County found themselves without power.  

The explanation for Jackson outage was crews were replacing a transmission line in the area.  

White County 9-1-1 dispatch advised that the power company was switching out something on the grid and it knocked out the power. 

No word from Georgia Power on the cause of the outage in Cleveland and  White County.
