Cooperative Principle #6 is "Cooperation Among Cooperatives" and members of HOEC saw that last week! More than 110 additional linemen answered the call when tornadoes moved through our service area, leaving more than 6,000 members without power and more than 400 poles down or damaged. Coordinated through the state association, linemen came from the northern-most reaches of the state to assist. It truly takes a team and the cooperative group, across the state is a great team.

This picture puts into perspective the obstacles HOEC has been facing. Between poles and lines down from tornadoes to the horrible wind, members all across our service area have been affected. Any time we have a storm in a concentrated area, we move equipment and linemen to that area to respond.
