Massive power restoration campaign underway in Florida
Tens of thousands of utility workers are deployed across Florida in an effort to restore power to the approximately ten million people who were left without it after Hurricane Irma battered the state with powerful winds and heavy rain.
The lineworkers, tree-trimmers and others – many of them members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) - are part of what’s being described as the largest power restoration workforce in U.S. history.
