What I didn't mention in the flood of updates yesterday was the ginormous oak tree that fell across my street yesterday....roots in one yard, branches touching the house across the street. Same branches stripped one utility pole and wiped out one pole altogether; the resulting carnage set off no fewer than three transformers, which in turn fried my DSL modem and the neighbors' panel box. Two parked cars also met their untimely demise.
I'll have to attempt to finagle a free chair or tabletop from this. Pictures of the wreckage and repair will be posted later. |
