Description
Millions of Floridians were without power following Hurricane Milton's landfall. In the days since, millions have also had their power restored.
That's thanks to the thousands of lineworkers from all over the country who traveled to Florida after back-to-back major hurricanes battered the Gulf Coast. In many cases, work conditions were less-than-ideal — even dangerous.
In one viral case, a group of linemen is now receiving much-deserved recognition for their efforts.
As video shared by Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative (WREC) shows, they were faced with chest-deep water as they worked to restore power. Even more impressive, their efforts were to restore power for just two customers.
"The conditions our linemen are facing are challenging, but their dedication is unwavering," the power company wrote in a Facebook post.
