Gulf Power Storm Teams Home After Sandy Restoration
November 13, 2012
Gulf Power storm restoration teams have wrapped up their work in the Northwest to help restore power following Superstorm Sandy.
A 14-man Gulf Power evaluator team from Northwest Florida and a 70-person restoration team — including 48 line personnel and 22 support personnel — are back on the Gulf Coast.
The Gulf Power teams worked across the region to assist local utilities with power restoration, including a three-foot deep snowy assignment in West Virginia and four inches of snow in New Jersey.

@Jane, Gulf Power is union. I know that Pike Electric went up there to help and they aren’t union and they’re still working up there. I’ve heard that the power grid up there is real old and that could be part of the slow process.
@Snopes, thanks for setting the record straight on that union rumor.
Glad no South Co personnel were hurt, everybody made it home safe.
Thank you Gulf Power! WELCOME HOME. YOU WERE TRULY MISSED!!!!!!!!!!.
Way to go Byron Matherne I am sure those families appreciated the work that you guys did to help restore their power. Thanks to all these wonderful workers, God Bless You All.

Every bit of help was appreciated and accepted, no one was turned away because of non affiliations with a union.
William,
At least one power co truck was sent home and not allowed to help because they were not union. Do you know if Gulf Power is union? The reason I’m asking is that it seems to be taking a long time to restore power up there. If they won’t let non union workers help then that explains it.
