LifeNRA Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 The power just came back on! Been out since 11AM my time, 15 1/2 hours! I had two hours of sleep in the last 32 hours! People are being chased by the cops for trying to loot. Power finaly gets back on and I cant SLEEP! Sitting here with my 9mm on! Hope these goofballs dont try anything here! Yeah this what happened. The wind was so bad here yesterday it took this pole down holding two transformers. Crushed what looks like a small van and you can see it also took out a small pick-up. When the pole came down it pulled four more poles and almost a fifth one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my living room and kitchen outlets, the freezer, sump pump, water heater, oven, furnace and the pellet stove all on it. Of course they all don't run at the same time, but it sure makes it convenient with two young kids! Worth every penny on days like these.
