We can not express enough appreciation for our amazing line crew. Each of these guys showed up and showed out during this severe August storm, keeping at it until every last service out from the storm was restored.

We also want to give a HUGE thank you to our neighboring communities for allowing their crews to come help: Sallisaw, OK, Pryor, OK, Siloam Springs, AR, and MidAmerica Line Solutions... y'all came through in such a huge way and we are grateful for your support!

And last but not least, THANK YOU to our community as well for showing your appreciation to our crew! When you've worked such long hours in intense weather, knowing how much you're appreciated goes a long way!
