Alabama Power line crews are safely deployed and on standby awaiting the arrival of Hurricane Florence.

Some 350 linemen with bucket trucks and other equipment will help Duke Energy restore power once the monstrous hurricane blows through the Carolinas late Thursday, during the day Friday and perhaps all weekend.

Alabama Power employees are scattered across north Georgia within a day’s drive of the expected storm path. “This will be a dynamic storm,” said Senior Vice President of Power Delivery Scott Moore. “A measure of patience is going to be a virtue here. Once it comes ashore, we’re going to be busy for a while. Be safe and take care of one another.”
