Quite the thing to see as they rush in to help. Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me. Or something |

Quoting: Abrasive Quite the thing to see as they rush in to help. Once the line techs get there they need to take direction from the local municipality and power service centers. Something that worked in 2008, without power in Houston for Hurricane Ike, kept calling Reliant Energy over and over until they picked up. Finally got someone on the line, told them we had downed wires we believed were live. In addition, there were kids out of school in the area. Told the call-taker there was a possibility those kids were getting close to the live power lines. Counted 45 minutes and we had a crew of trucks working on the lines and power restored 3 hours after that. Hope everyone gets their power back soon.... :shoon: |

Hubby is an electrician and he talks all the time about not being able to find what he needs to complete simple jobs at times. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47927245 Here in Maryland, around noon, very near to I-70 about 75 miles west of Baltimore, multiple electric crews were stringing new silver-colored wires from big 'spools' sitting around on trucks. They all had insulated electric gear on and some on the ground, guys up in the buckets, about three separate crews. My first thought was why aren't they in Florida. They sure had plenty of stuff though. |

Just because YOU don’t believe in the Rougarou; or the Loup Garou, don’t make you safe; No ! The Constitution is a blend of 'moral certitude' -- which is one of the reasons that criminals are determined to be rid of it and We the People must be even more determined to defend it. "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." - Thomas Paine The only thing the Illuminati fears is an independent person who can live, eat, sleep, stay warm and defend themselves separate from Federal help. Pray that the Lord gives us more time! The End is near and time is short! A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. ~Proverbs 18:2 For those who understand, no explanation is needed.
