Irene Day 3

Well, we survived the natural disaster number 2. No lingering issues...yard was a mess, but we expected that. No trees down, but the power lines are. We can see the issue. A telephone pole snapped near the middle and the wires are hanging in the street. So, BGE has sent out a staff member to guard the wires so no one goes near them. 24/7. Wonder how much that is costing them, as opposed to just fixing it.
The problem is not enough telephone poles. A shortage. Hmm..how many did they gather? What did they think would occur in this storm we prepared for for 7 days?
So, now we have a generator. Expensive storm, let me tell ya. Guess I should be grateful I didn't have flooding. So, expected return to the grid-Friday, September 2nd. Sigh.....
