Just checking to see how everyone made out with the massive noreaster we had in the area.
I know the shore of MA. was hit hard as well as here in CT. Godspeed to everyone effected.
I live in southern CT. the top of the telephone pole at the end of my driveway broke off from the wind.
It flipped over and had the high lines (13,800volts) resting on the street light, this was around 6pm
Friday night. The pole proceeded to smolder and burn all night long but we still had power.
The PD showed up twice to watch it, the FD showed up to watch it, but eventually it was just us neighbors watching it burn.
I stayed up until 1am to keep an eye on it and when I got up around 7am it was still burning. PD showed up again in the a.m. then finally a van from the power co. came around 3pm Sat. to watch it.
It finally burned enough off the top to have the transformer fall, hang by the high lines and we lost power.
Power Co. showed up around 6pm Sat. and did a great job to fix/move new transformer to another pole.
Oh yeah, and Saturday I spent most of the day cutting 3 trees that had fallen in my backyard.
Again hope everyone in the path of this storm is OK.
