tandm Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Well we all know this weather freakin blows. We haven't had power for a while now. About 6ish this afternoon our power came back on. This was great and all for about 10 minutes. There was a branch of a tree down on the line behind my house. The electrical line was partly severed and caused the branch to light and start a fire on the tree and on the line. So 911 was called and the fire department and AEP were on their way. Next thing you know, there is a really loud buzzing sound coming from the back yard. Look out the window to see bright flashes lighting up the back yard and sparks flying everywhere. So yeah, the transformer(I think that's what the thing on the pole is) decided it was going to literally blow up and there are some lines down on the ground. So who knows when we'll have power again at my house. I'm typing this from my parents house graemlins/doh.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 I feel for ya man... we've had power about 25% of today. Makes it hard to thaw out cars with a hair dryer or space heater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
