The Daily Herald Emergency responders and service providers in southern Middle Tennessee continued to navigate internet and phone service outages following Friday’s bombing in downtown Nashville with the region's emergency lines starting to return to regular service on Monday afternoon. "We just have a few more checks," said Jeff Hardy, Maury County's director of emergency management. Maury County's 911 communications lines were functioning as normal Monday afternoon, but Hardy said the county may continue to experience some outages due to the repair work that is continuing in and around Nashville. "We will continue to monitor the alternate contact numbers," Hardy said.
