-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(MOELLER--BITE #1):
"ELECTRIC-COMPANIES CONTINUE TO WORK, AROUND THE CLOCK, TO RESTORE POWER TO CUSTOMERS IMPACTED BY
'HURRICANE FLORENCE'. CREWS HAVE ALREADY RESTORED POWER TO MORE THAN
ONE-POINT-SIX-MILLION CUSTOMERS, SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE
STORM--AND ARE WORKING AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, PROVIDED CONDITIONS ARE SAFE FOR THEM TO DO SO."
(MOELLER--BITE #2):
"SOME OF THE MOST-COMPLEX AND -CHALLENGING POWER-RESTORATION WORK REMAINS IN AREAS THAT CURRENTLY ARE
INACCESSIBLE--AND THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED MASSIVE FLOODING AND STRUCTURAL DAMAGE.
CREWS AND EQUIPMENT HAVE BEEN MOVED AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THOSE HEAVILY IMPACTED
AREAS--SO THAT ALL RESOURCES CAN BE BROUGHT TO BEAR, AS SOON AS CONDITIONS ALLOW."
(MOELLER--BITE #3):
"WE KNOW THAT BEING WITHOUT POWER CAUSES HARDSHIPS.
PLEASE KNOW THAT ELECTRIC-COMPANIES WILL NOT STOP THEIR STORM-RESTORATION EFFORTS, UNTIL THE LAST CUSTOMER WHO CAN RECEIVE POWER IS RESTORED.
WHILE CUSTOMERS MAY NOT SEE ELECTRIC-COMPANY PERSONNEL IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS, THE ENERGY-GRID IS HEAVILY
INTERCONNECTED--AND CREWS ARE WORKING, THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM, TO BRING POWER BACK ON, AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE."
