We noticed lots of Southern Power company Trucks & Crews hauling reels of power line cable already pre-staged, along the way.

Note: This is a major Southeastern power line grid area, with feeds coming from Nuke Plants at Branch, GA. (Mid-GA), and Pt. Hatch / Pt. Vogtle further south in GA. These supply power to GA, Ala, and some to eastern Miss areas.
