Southwest Alabama residents are celebrating the heroic linemen and support personnel who have traveled from across the country to restore utility services following Hurricane Sally last week.
WKRG reported that Fairhope residents on Tuesday night held a short parade downtown to express their appreciation for the power crews.
The parade reportedly featured bucket trucks honking, with linemen inside waving, to those residents who took their time to line Section Street.
Alabama Power Company has restored power to its service area as of Sunday night, and Energy Institute of Alabama members continue to lead the charge restoring service to Baldwin County electric cooperative members, which was hardest hit by the slow-moving category 2 hurricane.
