Anyone notice that low hanging cable bundle going into the Pensacola 9 Mile Plaza? Majes you wonder how long till that’ll get fixed. Those streamers off of it really make it look like a celebration.
I’m the only person in my power grid without power. I report it everyday but EREC keeps clearing the outage without coming to check it out. Every morning I call, the system says “no reported outages in your area” which is obviously wrong, ask my generator. My neighbors to the south, north and east all have had power since Friday. I’m guessing my transformer is blown considering my street light is out as well. Very frustrating.
Thanks to the many people who work the long hours to restore power to our homes and businesses. This storm was a big surprise and did not leave a lot of time for preparation. A big thanks to the people who were responsible for the organization and getting all the people and materials together and organizing the crews. A lot of work has been done in a short period of time. So, THANKS!!
Thank you EREC and assisting agencies. Absolutely amazing feat.
Thanks to all the linemen. You guys are really great. The Best. You are truly appreciated by this customer.
God bless our linemen!
