Entergy Arkansas says 65 more linemen are headed to Florida to help in the aftermath of Hurricane Frances. Entergy said that Florida utilities have asked for more help, especially with Hurricane Ivan possibly on the way. The
company said with the new workers that makes 175 Arkansans helping out in Florida. Entergy Arkansas operations director Greg Grillo said total
damage estimates from the back to back Hurricane Charley and Hurricane Frances is turning out to be more severe than initially thought. He also said that with all of the workers gone from the state, Arkansas is still equipped to handle any emergencies at home but
things like service initiations might take longer.
