RE: All good in your neck of the woods, Sim?
back in the 90s my hometown in far upstate NY got slammed by an ice strom circa march 1, took out nearly literally all the trees *and* the utility poles. Most of those poles were put up in the 30s in back line of the properties instead of roadside.
My dad didn't get power back for nearly 3 weeks. Being a normally cold area and my father refusing to move the thermostat about 50, we always had 2 or 3 woodburning stoves even in the city, so it wasn't a catastrophe, excepting the squirrel that got down via the chimney
