Think credit is needed for the non duke energy teams doing a large part of this recovery

[@ellenperry1345]

Praying that weather is good for optimum working conditions and that all the necessary supplies are readily available. May the Lord bless you with safety, the energy you all need, and helpful and understanding families. Patience for all those who are doing without and trying to rebuild their lives into a new "normal." God bless you one and all.

[@tina8796]

That is my assessment, too. A war zone. Mother Nature is mean and vindictive. Sending love and hugs from East Tennessee ✝ ✝

[@rennietintin8701]

Why did you edict out the pickup truck waving the American flag? Aside from that, you did an excellent interview with this unsung hero. God bless him, his family, all the utility workers and their families. I pray they are all kept safe. God bless all the good people in North Carolina and the other states hit so hard. I pray that neighbors-helping-neighbors will get everyone quickly back on their feet and all of these communities rebuilt in record time.

[@TwiitchMcGee]

Wait, if it was edited out how did you see it?

[@alanhodge984]

is that Hickory Nut shop behind him? is it still there?

[@MsFuruodden]

It will be better, but it will take a couple of years at least

[@patriotgirl3163]

Please be safe DUKE workers. Please! No weapon formed against you will prosper in JESUS NAME!
