[quote:davvi:MV8yMDQ3ODczXzM0NDE1OTQ2X0Y0MTZBQjE4] [quote:Anonymous Coward 13051740:MV8yMDQ3ODczXzM0NDE1OTAyXzk3MTdBQTA1] I talked to someone whose working for national grid and is down there on long island. The reason for the delay is that miles and miles of poles are down Also the streets are clogged with rocks and debris. He said that even if he had a crew of 1,000 working 24/7, which they are it would take 1-2 months just to set up the poles, never mind putting the wires on them. he said he turned down a street, putting poles up and they couldn't go any further, because someone's yacht had washed up in the middle of the street. This is such an epic disaster, due to all the downed poles, the wiring, the entire grid. [/quote] yes that and the fact that lipa ran out of new poles. yea really they did. lol [/quote]
