NORFOLK, Va. - With Tropical Storm Elsa on its way to Hampton Roads and northeastern North Carolina, Dominion Energy's linemen are on the clock.
"The good news is that we're ready. We prepare for things like this all year long," said Legislative Advisor/Sr. Communications Specialist Paula Miller.
Continuing preps Wednesday afternoon, crews readied vehicles for strong winds and rain that could take down trees and limbs.
"Usually when trees land on a power line, we're going to be having to put a lot of wire backup, so we keep a good amount of wire on our truck," said Walter Moore, a lineman for Dominion Energy. "It could be a twig that could lay across [it] and affect the whole power line."
