A JEA spokesperson said that 24 to 25 crews and 29 troubleshooters have been activated and are ready to respond starting Wednesday afternoon.
“This is a limited emergency,” said Chris Richardson, JEA electrical maintenance coordinator at the Westside service center. “I’ve been working here going on 34 years. We’re still not sure what to expect. We’re going by the national weather forecast, and it’s telling us 50-60 mph winds as the peak, and we’re set up for that.”
Unlike during Hurricane Ian when out-of-town crews were on standby at the Equestrian Center, JEA is counting on local crews to restore power during Nicole. . And Richardson said that if power is out or you see a line down, contact JEA and don’t approach the line.
