TAMPA, Fla. - TECO crews will face a different kind of response this time around as they prepare to deal with winter storms instead of tropical storms.
The goal is still the same: to get power restored for individuals across Louisiana so they can make it through the winter weather.
Tuesday morning, those TECO crews hit the road for the long drive ahead. Tampa Electric is used to sending crews out to affected areas to help get power back up and running.
For this winter storm assistance, they have sent a total of 200 workers out to Shreveport to help their local crews hit the ground running.
