Power companies from all over the  midwest are helping crews in Joplin work to get electricity up and running.  Springfield City Utilities is no different when it comes to lending a hand.  Four CU line crews are in Joplin this week working along side Empire District Electric.  Officials estimate some 60 electric transmission poles were destroyed in the EF-5 twister.
