In my area, Westchester County NY, we had tons of trees and power poles down. Power poles broken in half by the wind, I've never seen that before. In my very small town we had 118 power poles down. We had 10 from Irene. The damage from this storm was vastly, vastly greater in our area, especially to electrical infrastructure. I was told that only 12 power poles can be replaced per day. It is a lot of work to get it delivered on site, erect and anchor it, and wire it up, for each single pole.
