What kind of surgical storm is able to drop from the sky to decapitate more than a dozen power transmission poles and not touch the houses right next to the carnage? The one we had in our neighborhood last night, that’s what kind. The people on this street around the corner (luckily not affecting us) were out of electricity for four days while the old wooden poles were replaced with no-snap giant steel monster poles. It’s not so much the missing electricity that would be bad, it is the 90 degree (32c) nights without air-conditioning that would be horrible.
