Hundreds of power crews are on the way to Paulson Stadium in Statesboro which is a staging area for power crews. On Thursday afternoon, September 29. 2022 rows upon rows of power crew trucks had already arrived at the stadium.
Southern Electric Corporation, Alabama Power, Georgia Power and Pike Power were some of the crews who had made it into Statesboro this afternoon.
There are also MLU Logistics emergency housing trailers, portable restrooms and personnel support equipment heading in as well.
They will remain here throughout the night until the storm has passed and they can be dispatched to restore power taken out by the storm.
Keep these brave men and women and their families in your prayers as they work tirelessly over the next few days and weeks to get power restored in areas where Hurricane Ian passed.
