Storm Damage

I took a ride around the neighborhood yesterday and this was about 2 miles from my home (I did not loose power nor have any damage). There are lots of similar looking situations. This particular road runs east/west so winds blowing down it just funnel through which didn't help. Two days after the storm close to 80,000 customers are still without power and it's not because power company crews (both local and out of state crews) aren't working on it but because there are so many power poles, lines, transformers and trees down. Unfortunately it's getting cold now and that's posing problems for many still without power. There are warming centers all over for those folks until power is restored.
Reminds me of the ice storm we had back in March 1991 when we were without power for 11 days. We got through it...

PS two days after the storm and not a word from our Governor yet :-(

A very nice photo journalistic capture of this extreme storm damage.

That was quite a storm. Hopefully the power has been restored to everyone concerned.

That's a huge tree to get ripped up by the roots. Reminds me of what it was like when Sandy roared through here. Hope the Governor checks in with you all soon!

Wow, that is some serious damage. I hope everybody gets power back soon.

We had this last year. No power and lots of trees through the roofs.

Terrible damage. That must have been an extreme storm. I don't understand why your utilities are not under ground, especially when you are prone to storms.

This is awful! I am so glad you are okay!!

Maybe the Governor doesn't have power! LOL OK, not likely, I don't know who your governor is but I would gladly give you mine! Well, on second thought, I wouldn't do that to you! The East Coast seems to be getting hit real bad this season. Good luck!
