A workforce of more than 5,000 line crews and support personnel from Alabama Power and 24 states and Canada has restored service to more than 90% of customers affected by Hurricane Zeta. As of 2 p.m. Monday, 46,000 outages remain statewide, down from a peak of 504,000.

The company expects 95% of affected customers to have service by Tuesday. Restoration for the hardest hit areas of Calhoun, Chilton, Clarke, Clay, Dallas, Randolph and Talladega counties will extend later into the week.

Hurricane Zeta made landfall as a Category 2 storm last Wednesday and swept through Alabama and the South, with tropical-storm-force winds and heavy rains causing widespread damage.
