Birmingham – Alabama Power crews, assisted by utilities from at least 20 states and the District of Columbia, have restored power to 82 percent of customers statewide who were affected by Hurricane Katrina.
At 4 p.m. Friday, 116,253 customers remained without power statewide, down from a peak of 636,891 Monday.
Alabama Power has pledged that 99 percent of power will be restored in the Birmingham area by the end of the day. The company has committed to having 99 percent of power in Tuscaloosa restored by the end of the day Sunday, with 99 percent of Mobile customers on by the end of the day Sept. 7.
Please help the victims of the Katrina disaster by donating to the Red Cross Katrina relief fund. Their donation page is here.
