Georgia Power crews in Mississippi

Georgia Power Co. says its utility crews are working to restore electricity across storm-battered Mississippi in the wake of Hurricane Gustav. About 900 utility personnel left Monday for Gulfport and Biloxi. Mississippi officials said power was lost to as many as 90,000 customers when Gustav slashed through south Mississippi on Monday. The company also said utility crews based in Savannah were recalled to allow them to prepare for Hurricane Hanna. Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center said Hanna could turn toward the east coast of Florida, Georgia or South Carolina in the next few days.
