Avista crews getting a coffee break from family members as they work to restore power after Friday’s storm. “I’m so proud to call [Brian Scrimsher] my father,” she wrote in a Facebook post she shared with the Daily Bee. “I’ve never met a harder working person in my entire life. My dad and the rest of the Avista crew been out working nonstop since late last night. We were able to take him some coffee to warm up a bit, but he still has a long day ahead with trees down. Yes, things are hectic right now with the winter storm and such but just be thankful you’re alive and indoors! Say a little prayer for the hard workers out there braving the storm.”
