Webb Park. Big transmission line was damaged. Gustav did a good job of clearing up the canopy so we should see our down times to continue to improve.

ETA These big trees in the neighborhood wreak havoc on those power lines. Add to it the fact most are run on servitudes behind the houses making access an issue. They always save the worst for last.

Yeah my neighbor and I were just laughing about the Katrina deal. They got everybody up in the hood except our leg and left. Didn’t realize it until a couple days later.

Issac, we lost power for 2 weeks, with a newborn, right as my wife told me she didn’t love me, never loved me, and wanted a divorce

Maybe 15 minutes for Katrina. Where in the world do you people live that lost power for days?
