This week, crews will string wire on the poles from the safety of a bucket truck.
The poles were designed to withstand 130-mph winds produced by a Category 3 hurricane.
McAnany, who worked to restore power at river crossings after Hurricane Hugo, said it wasn't the wind but debris sent into the lines that caused major outages after the storm.
Poles typically stay put, which means power can be restored more quickly.
It's been eight years since McAnany has scaled a pole."
