It packed a little punch but moved pretty quickly. Not complaining about the rain, needed it but power would be sweet.

Generally speaking that is where the issues come from. Lots of trees around those lines.

Ah. Iberville Terrace. Hey neighbor! 

For sure. We lose power pretty regularly. Luckily the previous owner had one installed. It is definitely nice to have.


Howdy! Yeah, that is nice cause they are def not cheap to have installed. Esp since I am OT poor.

I agree... those things are surrounded by trees, but i didn't see a branch leaning on it at the time... maybe it had fallen by the time I passed, and the damage had already been done


But that's definitely where the problem is
