Have been without power for almost 15 hours. Over 100,000 people lost power in big storm:
Pic of crew that arrived this morning. They just left after clearing the tree. Guess different crew will restring the line. I noticed one of the poles has the top sheared off. Guess it will be a while before I get power
My driveway has yellow "Fire Line do not cross" tape across it as about 300' of the line is coiled all over my yard and driveway.
Funny GA power just spent 3 weeks trimming back trees in the area. Yesterday morning was without power for over 3 hours as a different tree took out a pole farther up the line.
Wish I could have seen it. That is a 7200V line, must have made a good light show when it came down.
Meanwhile my house generator hums away I don't want to see the natural gas bill next month. This neighborhood is all 100'+ oak and hickory trees who's dying wish is to take out that power line. Have put 40+ hours on generator in the last 2 years.
Guess I'll need to fire up the riding welder to do any welding today
