Yeah, storage would be a problem here too, even with a 5kw generator. Then having it ready to go, hooking it up, etc. its usually a pain while were going through it but a day or two after everything is turned back on...we forget about it for several more years.Wow, that sucks GFGT. Power outages here (for more than a few hours) are pretty rare, but I do want to get something that will at least keep the bare minimum (refrigeration being the main concern) going. To me it's always been like a snow blower. Yeah when we get a foot of wet snow, I'd REALLY like to have one, but 99% of the time I don't need a snow blower. I don't have a lot of storage space, but I'm leaning toward at least a big (still not whole house) generator.
Bradford Pears? If so **** CHINA AGAIN!!!!. . . . . . . and they all look the same.
Another Chinese import I believe.
Took power out from 9:45pm to 5:30am here. Snapped 2 trees in my yard, one smashing my truck and the other landed on my roof punching 2 holes in the ceiling. Luckily no one was hurt.
Tree service came and removed the trees from everything and will be back later to clean up the rest. Real busy right now. Guy is coming to assess the roof and do temp repairs. Took before pictures for insurance while I wait on an adjuster.
Pike County.

These are the photos I shared in the OSUT last night...pulled them from a story on Facebook. Not my photos.
Downtown Mooresville
We finally got our power back on around 1:40am this morning. I got curious to see how it was going and about the time I passed the trucks, I saw some neighbors’ lights coming on. What a beautiful sight! I drove around the “block” and passed the REMC guys heading off to the next outage. I looked at the outage map this morning and there’s still 53 customers that are still out.
I’ve worked shutdowns and outages before (industrial) and they are long days. My hat’s off to those guys. At least I didn’t have to work outside, where the cold air was blowing like it was yesterday/last night.
Good to hear you're back up and running GFGT. Trees are the enemy of power lines and there are plenty of trees down that way. The REMC guys do have a tough job.
Given the butcher sales Value market has had since the panic, they can probably afford to bulldoze the place and rebuild the size of a walmart.
But seriously, really hoping they can get back up and going soon. A great place for meat full of awesome folks.
I didn’t realize value market shut down. I was going to go through downtown Mooresville to see the damage on my way home from work today, but by the time I was done at work I was just ready to be home.
I’m not far from the middle of town. I didn’t get any damage other than a few branches that broke. It blew in really fast, and was a hell of a storm for about 10 minutes it seemed, then was done.

I lost 5 trees, 3 of them are cedar. Anybody interested in some cedar?[/QUOTE
Are the logs big enough to make lumber?
