Our reporter who is in Ruda in Högsby municipality got stuck on a couple of roadblocks that stopped and stopped the traffic.

The power outage affects customers in Högsby, Hultsfred, Oskarshamn, Mönsterås, Nybro, Västervik and Vimmerby municipalities.

In several of the cases, including in Hultsfred and Vimmerby, Eon announces that thunder is behind the interruptions.

- It is difficult to provide a forecast when the problem has been remedied. It depends on how the weather develops, says Eon's communicator Jan-Erik Olsson.

Does not work when it thunders

Eon has service technicians out in several places who work to fix the problem. But in several places it is still thundering - where the staff is still waiting.

- We are not allowed to work when it thunders. It's too dangerous. When the thunder has passed, you can see if something has broken or reconnect the line, says Jan-Erik Olsson.
