UPDATE: Lineworkers with Arizona Public Service (APS) began work on Sunday and got to work restoring power to those in rural regions around Palm Coast and St. Augustine.
————————
Lineworkers with Arizona Public Service (APS) are heading to Florida in the wake of Hurricane Milton, which left millions of people without power.
A caravan of APS bucket trucks will leave Flagstaff Thursday morning to make the journey across the country to assist.
Milton made landfall in Florida late Wednesday as a Category 3 hurricane, knocking out power to nearly three million people by Thursday morning.
APS is part of a "national mutual assistance network" that offers a support system when electric companies nationwide are forced to deal with natural disasters that create widespread damage.
