Those line guy earn every bit of their pay. I would not want their job , but when they were in my yard, there were 4 folks watching 2 work. MO I've been in one of those trucks. Believe me you want a few guys around if things go south. I hit a live line, it killed the truck. Blew out the front tires, and set the grass on fire where the out riggers were on the ground. If I didn't have my lookie Lou's with me I'd have been a shisk-ka-bob.
Just want to make folks smile, and spit coffee on their keyboard.

I've been hearing helicopters pretty regularly lately. This seems like a major infrastructure loss event. 446 bucks to fill up the tank to be back in the game for 2.5 more days.

at long last. back on the grid My parents electricity is still out on Seago Lily off 154. Just talked to them and Swepco said they may not have it on by Friday. I saw on the news this evening that a lineman from West Virginia died of a heat stroke in Harrison county.

My parents are in Diana and on Swepco. Their power went out Thursday night and hearing it won’t be restored until this Friday.[/quote] Out from Thursday night to Monday evening . I didn't think it looked that bad but MP had poles and lines all over South Jefferson 1/4 mile away from me Mom ( Bowie Cass ) just blinked a few times . . Same here closer to Gladewater lost power Thursday night. Electricity came back on Tuesday night around 6:00pm. Let me just say not having electricity for four or five days really sucked. SWEPCO did a great job replacing everything and cutting all the trees and restoring power! When the trucks did show up it was amazing how fast they rebuild everything from scratch and make it work. AIR CONDITIONING IS A WONDERFUL THING!!!!!

My son is headed to Marshall in the morning with his crew from the Austin area. Will be working 16 hour days….in this heat. I worry about him. I do hope he can help a lot of people get some power back on though.

Yeah they said it was bad but they got their electricity back on about an hour ago. I’m gonna go in and clean up around the place this weekend because they’re 79 years old. My brother has been helping out but has to go out of town Thursday for work.
