Utility crews from Wisconsin Public Service head for Texas Monday to help restore power to victims of Hurricane Ike.

Ten crews from offices in Green Bay, Antigo, Waupaca, Merrill, Wabeno, Eagle River, Minocqua and Michigan assembled in Wausau before leaving for Houston.

The group of about two dozen people are expected to spend two weeks helping Entergy, a Houston utility, restore power to its customers.
