Here are couple of videos from TVA relating the April 26 tornadoes relating to the power grid. My brother-in-law works for TVA and he said they lost towers that they never thought would be brought down.

He was on one of the crews that you will see in this next one, building towers and running lines till a few months ago when he transferred to another job. But he has been drafted and is out in back out in the field working to put up temporary towers. Now I think now they are just replacing towers that went down.
They are still working all the hours they can. Basically they work till they can't work safely anymore. Pile up in a truck and sleep a little and then back to work. Got to admire these guys! They have done some amazing work to basically rebuild our power grid in a couple of weeks.
