Power and utility crews from all around the country have flooded into our communities, including downtown Chipley, in Washington County, Florida, as seen in these FAA Part 107-compliant drone aerial photos by Real Florida Media, a subsidiary of The Goulding Agency in Chipley, Florida..
Tent cities sprang out of the ground overnight, as hundreds of trucks and pieces of equipment, accompanied by thousands of personnel, tackled the downed power poles, transformers and miles of power lines.
Mess tents, rest room facilities, shower and wash stations, fuel depots, staging areas and all manner of infrastructure have been imported to make this possible, and Gulf Power Company crews, alongside thousands of restoration crew members from 15 states, have now restored power to 95% of Gulf Power customers in Jackson and Holmes counties, ahead of estimated restoration times.
