Got power?We didn't for 15 straight hours Saturday and Sunday and again for eight hours on Monday. But thanks to these crews from Pike Electric Corporation, headquartered in Mount Airy, N.C., we've got lights tonight and computer access! You really don't realize how addictive these computers are until you're without them...
These crews put power lines back together on a closed section of Summerfield Road in north Dallas County. I suppose that Tropical Storm Fay caused the damage although the winds weren't especially strong yesterday, but at times the rain was heavy. We've received several inches of welcome precipitation, and there's more expected.
Now, for all you Selma and Valley Grande citizens, we're electing our mayors and city councils today, so please go to the polls and exercise your VOTING POWER!

I hate it when the power goes out, that's for sure! We are s dependent on electricity. I didn't realize Fay had created that much havoc.
ReplyDeleteIt surprising how much you realise you use it when its gone!
ReplyDeleteFay moved so slowly and stalled from time to time that it brought extended bouts of wind and rain, hence the power outages.
ReplyDeleteWe're loving the rain.
ReplyDeleteAnd thankfully, without power outages.
Glad yours is back on!
Sorry for the power outage!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for urging your fellow citizens to vote!!!

We had power out from 8:30 PM on Sat. tilll who knows when at the lake. We left around !0 am Sunday.
ReplyDeleteIn B'ham, it's power out all the time due to all the trees we have that fall on power lines. It is miserable. You were out a good while in Selma. Thank you to all the power companies that come to our aide down here when we have storms.
Hi Virginia, We have lots of trees here too, but they do try to keep them trimmed back from power lines, but hey, Alabama means "big thicket!"
ReplyDeleteI rode up the highway too, and it appears a power pole had snapped yesterday.
it is strange the lack of participation in the elections in the USA
ReplyDeletethere are countries where people dream to go to vote
It sounds like you missed your computer more than than the lights and a/c. Hehe. I would too.
ReplyDeleteIn the great ice storm one Christmas we were without power for three cold days. What a challenge that was.
