Thank you EREC and Jay Volunteer Fire Dept and everyone else out there last night in the storm, through all the early morning hours, through the day today, and yes STILL out there tonight trying their very best to get everyone else back to their comfort zone. Be grateful, be thankful that you’re not out there picking up all the pieces and putting em back together, tried and woreout and still going. Be thankful you have a home that has power when it comes back on when there are people out there without one tonite or that had a tree fall through it. Have patience, remember this isn’t the end of the world and use it for training days for hurricane season
Um, yes really! They did fix it, but I’m not sure if you noticed a severe storm came through last night and destroyed the electric system infrastructure. SMH! Thank you linemen and your families for your dedicated service to our community. Please be safe out there!
Thank You EREC. Be safe out there!
