Sixty-five linemen from 24 Indiana electric cooperatives, including Kenny Eggleston and John Yates of Marshall County REMC, assisted in the Hurricane Irma recovery efforts in Georgia and Florida. The massive storm left more than 6 million people, some 1.5 million who are co-op members, without power in the southeastern United States.

REMC would like to thank Eggleston, Yates and all of the other linemen who helped restore power to electric cooperatives during this tragic time.
