We have had 90 employees in southern Florida since last week and now that they have completed their work, they are being redeployed to Mississippi. And we now have 44 employees in route to Tennessee where they will be staging for relief efforts.

After you see the devastation, its pretty substantial. It is the right thing for our company to do, to help.

The utility companies provide mutual assistance to one another in extreme outage situations. Allegheny really likes to help other utilities out when we can spare the personnel. Once we saw that the storm would have a minimal effect here, we knew we could send more people.

That's another big plus. Everyone really does whatever it takes to get the job done. Employees and producers work together. It's all together, the dairy bars, the producers, us, we're all...

With mergers, we may see some difficulties as operations are merged, as employees learn to work together. So, it could still happen, but I think airlines learned a lot last year.

The board and officers are very involved, and some employees felt it was not appropriate and chose not to work under that.
