Nearly 150 Duke Energy Indiana line workers, tree trimmers, damage assessors and other support personnel are headed to Charleston, West Virginia to assist with power restoration efforts in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

The crews will leave today from three different staging locations in Paris, Ohio; Clarksville, Indiana and New Castle, Indiana.

Crews will be prepared to be away from their home areas for as many as 14 days.

Once the restoration work is completed, crews may be re-assigned to other areas.
