Alabama Power Crews Work Through Weekend to Support New Jersey Storm Recovery

By Alabama NewsCenter Staff

Alabama Power crews in New Jersey worked through the weekend, helping restore power to people affected by Tropical Storm Isaias following its destructive journey up the East Coast.

Unofficial counts so far indicate at least 18 people died in the U.S. and the Caribbean in connection with Isaias, which made landfall early last week in North Carolina as a Category 1 hurricane.

More than 2.7 million people lost power along the U.S. Atlantic coast, in other Northeast states, and into Canada. More than 1 million of the outages were in New Jersey, which suffered drenching rains, high winds, and tornadoes. The storm toppled trees across the state and tore roofs off multiple homes, businesses, and hotels, especially along the Jersey Shore.
