Dolly Numbers Are In From AEP - Amazing Statistics & Logisitics

September 21st, 2008 Posted in SKYWARN, M.A.R.S.

ARRL Map of DollyThe Corpus Christi Caller-Times is reporting AEP’s logistical numbers for Hurricane Dolly support. The story is on their web site and pretty amazing especially when you think of all the manpower and machines that went into restoring our power here at South Padre Island and Port Isabel and the ten other counties surrounding us that required power restoration.  Besides the overwhelming gratitude of thanks and appreciation to AEP and their heroic and legendary efforts at getting our power on after Hurricane Dolly, we should remember that this was a small light-weight catagory Two (2) storm for a short while. There are three (3) levels of hurricane consider stronger then the second level up, which Dolly was.  Enjoy the Caller-Times article by CLICKING HERE FOR MORE and to read all about how many poles, transformers and other logistics.
