Pineville--Cleco is closely monitoring the predicted path of Hurricane Harvey with resources on stand-by, ready to respond.
“The path of Hurricane Harvey is uncertain and difficult to forecast, but Cleco continues to monitor the latest weather reports,” said James Lass, general manager of distribution operations and emergency management. “In preparation, all Cleco crews, along with contractor crews, are on standby, and equipment has been secured to safely respond to possible wind and flood related outages.”
Forecasters are predicting Hurricane Harvey will make landfall in Texas tonight into Saturday morning, and stall for a few days before moving again, potentially into the Gulf of Mexico, before making landfall again, bringing torrential rain across Louisiana.
