Pikeville, KY — Three Kentucky electric utilities have sent crews to Florida ahead of Hurricane Dorian. The crews will help with expected power outages wherever the storm makes landfall. Louisville Gas & Electric and Kentucky Utilities have sent 165 employees and contractors to Florida for the storms. Kentucky Power said about 100 employees and contractors are enroute to Florida to help with any outages that may result. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency late last week. Florida Power and Light was among several Florida utilities requesting assistance from other utility partners in the region. One location for crews to stage is the Daytona International Speedway.
