I feel lucky though, we've had soooo much bad weather this winter, ice storms and 2 feet of snow blizzards and I have not so much as had a flicker of power failure. thank god!

Last year we had an ice storm and something happened I never seen before in my life (and I was 30 at the time!) underground electrical transponders were popping left & right... bright flashes, loud booms... weird weird weird! Anyways I live in a townhouse complex and my 'branch' of townhouses is in a U shape, with 3 buildings not attached on 3 sides around the parking lot, with an island in the middle of the parking lot. I saw a transponder blow there but did not lose electricity... come to find out the other 2 buildings lost electricity for 2 days!! I was sooooo lucky!!

I hope you get your phone back soon!

LOL!!! Phone is still not back the thing that is weird is that our phone is through our cable company and i have internet and tv but no phone i am starting to wonder if maybe there is something wrong with the modem Looks like i need to talk to neighbors and see if they have phone service well shoot that won't work either because i am sure 99% of them have phone service through the phone company

I hate when the transformers around here blow they scare the you know what out of me. When ours blow it is usually from some poor squarrel

Yeah i think we did our schools are closed The actually sent them home early from school yesterday because of it we have so much ice that you can skate across the yard I have a 4X4 trailblazer but it does no good on ice so i have been keeping my butt at home as much as possible.

So we bought a generator after the last one last year. We have had lots of snow, wind and ice and guess what? No power outages since we got the generator.

That would be my luck if i bought one lol
