Sounds like they aren't doing regular tree maintenance.. Up here they cut everything clear of the lines. And they cut anything dead that could fall across them. Unfortunately that could change for us soon. Whenever power companies cut the budget the first thing that goes is tree maintenance.
How did things go in your neck of the woods George ? The fact that you are still online is a good sign. I am trying to find out the status of some people on Long Island. They haven't been online. Sounds like the Island got hit hard.
