Another view of the Perry, FL damage that took out every pole on this road. Pole replacements are lengthy and tedious work for the @DukeEnergy #OH #KY crews working on restoration in the Taylor County community. Thx for your patience as we work on repairs from #HurricaneIdalia

Our @DukeEnergy #OH #KY crews remain in Madison, FL today working on #HurricaneIdalia restoration. Still replacing poles but fortunately the bucket trucks can access them so no manual climbing. Thanks for your patience as we continue restoring power.

A few other hazards our @DukeEnergy crews are encountering during #HurricaneIdalia restoration in #FL are snakes, fire ant mounds, and getting ready to dodge some storms.

Here’s some of what our power pros are seeing. This is in Suwannee County, coincidentally adjacent to a @DukeEnergy power plant and solar site.

Our @DukeEnergy Florida lineworkers are making the most of the remaining daylight hours.

Workers from @DukeEnergy cleaning up and restoring power in Perry, FL.

I’m obsessed with these tracked bucket trucks. How can I get the keys to a bucket tank?

Lineworkers, tree trimmers and more arriving at @DukeEnergy’s storm staging area from as far away as Michigan and Kentucky.

Before #Idalia makes landfall – be sure you’ve downloaded the Duke Energy app. It’s easy to report outages and view the outage map. Download here: https://t.co/OqGHsFhSXp.

At @tropicanafield in @StPeteFL awaiting the arrival of hundreds of lineworkers, tree pros and other storm experts who will stage equipment here ahead of @DukeEnergy’s storm response.

Check out this convoy of @DukeEnergy crews from Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky. They'll be in Florida ahead of @HurricaneIan and ready to respond when it's safe.

[Lee J. Freedman (Duke Energy) @DE_LeeF]

@jwilliamscincy congrats on the new gig!

@DE_SallyT @DukeEnergy @gestcarts What time does your driving shift start?

@amhulvalchick I had a hard time getting past the serial comma in his first sentence. And then he went on to state that he went to journalism school.

Six years ago today (on her birthday, no less) Jerri Kurdila gave a kidney to her @DukeEnergy co-worker, Eric Amshoff. Happy kidney-versary, Eric! And happy birthday, Jerri! https://t.co/VJBYwMvIjF

This is a rare site in our area. @DukeEnergy lineman Alex Downton gets out the tire chains for his bucket truck in anticipation of winter storm headed our way. Cannot stress enough for folks to be prepared.
