Friday - Around 8:45 Friday night as Houston and Geneva County residence were settling in for the night and some of us were watching the SEC baseball tournament, BAM, the often taken for granted but much appreciated electricity goes out. 


Close to 8,000 Geneva and Houston county residence were literally left in the dark, including myself. 


I contacted Wiregrass COO Brad Kimbro who is a personal friend of mine to see if he was able to give us an update on the issue being this was a major outage. 


Brad never hesitated in keeping in contact and continually giving updates so we could update all of you. His crews were on the problem as soon as the outage occurred. 


The issues was the power coming into Wiregrass Electric sub-stations from their supplier, PowerSouth. WEC and PowerSouth crews and engineers were working together to find the problem. 


While it is an inconvenience to not have power, I must say that these men and women worked tirelessly to fix the problem and get power restored to every household on their system. I appreciate their hard work and dedication


But I want to point out one more key feature that most people would never know. Brad Kimbro is the Head of Wiregrass Electric Company, the Chief Operating Officer. He did not go to bed until everyone of the members had power. He was contacting me at midnight to give me updates on the power situation. Some companies and business have a boss that just tells people what to do, but WEC has a leader who leads and sets an example for his employees. Thank you Brad for your dedication to the members and the employees of Wiregrass Electric Company.
