Des Moines, Iowa — Des Moines-based MidAmerican Energy is sending 120 workers to southern Louisiana to help with recovery from Hurricane Ida.
MidAmerican Energy spokesperson Tina Potthoff said Tuesday she isn’t sure how long the crews will be in the impacted area.
Iowa saw crews from all over come in and help following last year’s derecho. Potthoff says it’s something that is common in the industry.
The hurricane left hundreds of thousands of people without power and it is not known how long it will take to restore the power lines and poles.
