LOL ....power is out! Two hours after the storm cleared & no warning, just suddenly out. We belong to a cooperative & they usually do a pretty good job restoring power. Per the app where I reported the outage, 1,500 people are out in our area & a crew is on-site. Estimated time to fix is another hour & a half.
I hope that works!
We have a portable generator because where we are, there are so many mature trees, a branch or two is bound to fall on a power line with any storm that comes through.
Stay safe!
My co-op has an app like that but at some point, they quit listing the ETA for repair. Now it’s just, yeah, we know. We’ll get to it when we get to it.
Same thing happens here too. Rain stops, wind dies down and then electric goes out. I think it’s bad/rotten trees that get saturated with the rain and can’t handle all the weight so down they go on a power line.
Rural life. It’s not like someone calls them and says there’s a power line down on Oak Lane. There are 100s of 1000s of miles of power line running across pasture and through forest in flyover country and here, hill country ta boot. I don’t envy the linemen.
I’m at the edge of the county in a sparsely populated area so I’m not their top priority.
