TALLAHASSEE -- Power is a major concern as Tropical Storm Fay heads toward Central Florida.

Electric company officials said they were in a race Tuesday morning to get power crews into Central Florida before Fay arrives.

Progress Energy workers told News 13 they have called in backup crews from across the country.

About 600 people from as far away as Missouri and Michigan are headed to Florida to help.

Progress Energy said most of their crews should be in place by Tuesday afternoon.

Officials asked Progress Energy customers to report any power outages as soon as possible.
