“Social” response to Tuesday’s storms
WorkingCrewVisualsforNewsCenter-P-5059-MegMcKinney: Mountain Brook, AL: Alabama Power crews remove and replace utility poles, clear broken cables, and replace, in wooded area of 18 Eden Circle.
While crews work to restore power to the remaining outages in Birmingham, the effort played out across social media in a “picturesque” way.
Images flooded timelines showing crews working the field, to others detailing outage numbers after the storm peaked.
We had to cut a trail more than a football field long, just to get to a pole that still needed old-school climbing. pic.twitter.com/O0VMvTnISL
