Coastal Electric linemen Eric Wells, Slade Walker, Billy Kirk and Josh Cowart departed around 7 a.m. Friday morning, Sept. 18, 2020, for Baldwin EMC on the Alabama Gulf Coast to help restore power in the wake of Hurricane Sally.
Wells was on call Thursday so when an underground cable faulted at The Cove in Richmond Hill on Friday at 2:45 a.m., he went right to work and worked through sunrise until everyone was restored at 7:20 a.m. Wells then returned to the office to join this crew for the long drive to South Alabama.
