They were the heroes here. I saw a video on twitter from a power company a 5 hour drive away saying, "Ottawa, you were there for us during our ice storm. We're coming to repay the favor - hold tight." The people on the day shift stayed late when the tornados hit and had probably been going 24 hours when that message arrived. They all did an incredible job.
Yep, they are the heroes more so than the EMS in these circumstances. A few days without power and a sweaty power pole working starts looking very Prince Charming to me :)
We are eating ice cream by candlelight :)
That doesn't sound like a good sign...
Is your power back on?
Yes, thank goodness. Although I'm pretty proud of how efficient we were without it.
Scores of power trucks were waiting in my town to head to the wreckage in the panhandle. Really impressive to see.
