What happened
Following Hurricane Isaias, 115 linemen and support staff from SWEPCO's teams in Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas deployed to restore power in storm-damaged communities. Kevin Greene, a SWEPCO troubleman, was among the first workers to arrive in damaged areas to assess conditions and determine resource needs.

Why it matters
The widespread power outages caused by powerful winds and heavy rain led to significant damage to electrical infrastructure. The deployment of crews and the assessment of damage indicate ongoing costs and efforts required for regional recovery.
Regional recovery efforts are underway in multiple states, including Texas, New Mexico, Arkansas, and Louisiana, following severe weather.
