Joe, After mucking out our house in Marion, we went to Ruby Tuesdays in Pocomoke for some dinner. Just as we were seated, the next party of 40 came in. They were from Alabama. They all drove their trucks and equipment here to help Delmarva Power get us reconnected. It tok them 2 days to get here. What a wonderful bunch of guys. Most of the folks in the restaurant, chatted with them, and thanked them profusely, for coming and helping us! They were very friendly, and very humble, just part of their jobs! I am sure they all volunteered for the assignment. They worked under very difficult conditions, in unfamiliar surroundings! -- Just a shout out to them for helping us!!

And thanks to the local guys as well. My lights flickered once or twice but I never lost electric.
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing you job.
Without these folks we would all suffer much. Thanks to ALL the workers nationwide who bring back the power for us whenever we need them.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless these unsung heros.
Amen. Shows there is still some good people in this messed up world.
ReplyDeleteThis crew from Alabama?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately for residents of the Garden State, an Alabama utility crew from Huntsville Utilities was banned from doing work in the state, due to being non-union.
According to Alabama’s WAFF, some of the crews were later welcomed to do work in New York.
WAFF also reports that a second utility crew, originally requested to do work in Seaside Heights, New Jersey is now sitting idle in Roanoke, Virginia:
“say they are just watching and waiting even though they originally received a call asking for help..”
