• Out-of-State line crews have arrived and will be assisting LCEC crews during restoration. The additional Mastec and Pike crews are from Tennesee and North Carolina.
• LCEC does not de-energize the lines as the storm approaches. We allow Mother Nature to take her course and begin restoration as soon as it is safe to work.
• Crews will continue to restore outages that may occure as the storm approaches and will work right up until the winds are too dangerous.
• Customers on life-support or dependent on power for health reasons are encouraged to have a back-up source of power or be prepared to stay with family or friends or go to a special needs shelter if widespread outages occur as a result of the storm.
• During widespread outages, customers do not need to contact LCEC to report an outage. Please leave phone lines open for emergencies or reporting downed power lines. If neighbors have power but you do not, please call 239-656-2300 to report the outage.
