- substation Completely blew out

Wouldn't you think the utility would be able to confirm that quickly if it were the case? So far they haven't.

Here in our little town we had 83 mph winds the other night and within about 30 minutes the utility had every failure point up on a map.

So this is still a little mysterious.
