Over the course of the past week, the employees of the Carthage Water and Electric Plant who were responsible for dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Milton have been critically understaffed.
At the same time that fourteen other crews from Missouri have been working to restore electricity to the Orlando area, a team of four linemen from Missouri have been working as quickly as they possibly can to accomplish the same goal.
Because they left Carthage on Monday, they are prepared to work for sixteen hours every day until the electricity is completely restored. This is because they have been working since Monday.
Nearly ninety thousand people were left without electricity as a result of Hurricane Milton, which made landfall on Wednesday evening.
Nevertheless, by the time Saturday evening rolled around, the number of clients who were without electricity had dropped to slightly more than 1,700.
The Missouri Public Utility Alliance, which was responsible for coordinating the crews, was successful in accomplishing this goal.
The Orlando Utilities Commission, usually referred to as OUC, is responsible for providing services to Orange and Osceola counties in the state of Florida.
Overnight, the operational utility company (OUC) anticipated that all of their customers would have their power restored.
