What is up Doc part 2
How can there be a part 2? Things have got to have settled down over my way, right?
If you read my September 29th post also titled What is up Doc
you will know that our birdfeeder was struck by lighting and the current from the lighting, struck our internet cable. The bolt followed the cable into our house.
Over the weekend we got most of our electronics replaced.
This morning I was ready to roll, when all of a sudden I heard this strange noise.
It was like a growl.
Another growl and another and one last loud growl and the lights went out.
The loud growl was the sound of an electric pole slowly falling to the ground one block from our home.

One block from our home our electric company is changing out electric poles. Sunday evening we had a thunderstorm with heavy rain. The water saturated the ground the new pole was placed in. Timber! As the morning rolled in the pole came down.
LIGHTS OUT!!
LIGHTS OUT!!
All of a sudden you remember how much you love electricity!
It has been an Electric few weeks over in this neck of the woods .
It's amazing how dependent we are on it!! I hope you have power again, or you're posting from another location.
ReplyDeleteIs that where the saying "if it wasn't for BAD luck you wouldn't have ANY luck" comes into play? lol Hope they get that fixed today!!! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteGoodness, what a run of bad electricity! Is this the actual picture of the pole that fell? It is amazing!!! Right in the center of the train track. I couldn't make up something this weird and wild.
ReplyDeleteone thing after another!! Hope they get it all fixed quickly!
ReplyDeleteAmazing how much we rely on electricity these days. It's starting to look cold where you live!!
ReplyDeleteThat is unbelievable! Hope those thunderstorms move away, and they get all the electrical problems straight soon. Bless your heart.
ReplyDeleteOh my maybe it's time to move, lol. :-) Snow? Already? We have been having beautiful weather here this week high 70's. Although we truly need some rain! Our pond is very very low. Hope things get better! Enjoy the rest of your week.

Oh no! Scary...hopefully this is the end of your electrical troubles. Fingers crossed for you my friend!
ReplyDeleteGood heavens! I'm going to pray that God places a hedge of protection around you and your sweet family!
ReplyDeleteWhat a string of bad luck. I hope that you get a generator for electricity in case you get hit by a heavy snow storm that brings the poles down again. This is an unbelievable string of bad luck.
ReplyDeleteWishing you better luck my friend.
Hugs, Julia
I sure don't like to be without electricity. We could use some of your rains, though, it's very dry here. Hope all the electric issues get fixed and stay that way. Take care and have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteHope they get it fixed soon. Geez it is always something!!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kris
Oh no!!! Do you try and turn the lights on as many times as I do when the power is off?
ReplyDeleteGood gracious what a week you've had Carla! Hopefully things settle down for you soon!
ReplyDeleteWow Carla - so much going on. You deserve a break!
