Valentine’s Day: Love On The Line

February 14, 2014

On Valentine’s Day, an 82-person Gulf Power storm team was hard at work in north Georgia to restore power after a winter storm.

Ice storms, hurricanes or just afternoon thunderstorms,  linemen and other power company employees are there to restore our electricity as fast as possible. But working in Georgia means the 82 men and women were away from their someone special for Valentine’s Day.

Special thanks to Gulf Power employee Tabbatha McGhee for helping with this story and photographs.
