    Big Pine trees down the street.
    The one tree in front was laying on the power lines and across driveway since Wednesday No One on our street lost power though.
    Looks like they did a good job on the fence.
    Didn't hit any buildings though:thumbs:
    I assume the power company got them off today.

    Yes it is and It's also good that those power lines are so tough and springy, so we all had power, lines were only about ten feet off the ground

    Trees downed all over the place after that big blow. We lucked out with the power situation as we weren't expected to get back on line until Saturday close to midnight but got on Thursday night instead. Good. Generators are okay but they can suck a lot of gas so makes the electric a bit expensive.
