The Omaha Public Power District is getting some help from their friends as they work to restore power after Sunday's snow storm that brought tree limbs down onto lines.
NPPD sent a four-man crew from its nearby Plattsmouth operations on Sunday and another eight linemen from Norfolk, South Sioux City, York and Kearney Monday morning.
OPPD initially had more than 52,000 customers that lost power from the Sunday morning storm, but that number was down under 3,000 early Monday afternoon. OPPD has indicated that they expect all customers to be returned to service by midnight Monday.
