Around 60 employees with Entergy Arkansas will be lending a hand in south Texas, helping restore power to areas ravaged by Hurricane Dolly.

A caravan of 20 trucks — filled with 40 linemen and other support personnel — will leave out Saturday morning.

The crew will help restore power to around 123,000 American Electric Power Company customers in the aftermath of Dolly.

This isn't the first time Entergy Arkansas has assisted out-of-state hurricane victims. Crews have also gone down for hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
