Louisiana, we’re headed your way! One of our Horry Electric crews left today to help Jefferson Davis Electric Co-op in Jennings. The co-op is reporting 100% of their members are without power following Hurricane Laura. Please pray for their safety. #CooperationAmongCooperativespic.twitter.com/YNBUxURO2o
