JeffL, thanks for the pics. I was wondering what the west was looking like. We just got our electricity back today. Been out since 2 a.m. friday morning. We had mostly rain but a big pine snapped one house over and down came the lines. Hope all is well out your way. By the way I got to take my Homelite super xl12 with new sharp chain to that pine. A little pay back!!:chainsaw:

it was very similar to that for a few days a couple weeks ago round here, i didnt see any trees down my way but there were mass power outages upstate further. Back in 98 was the worst ive ever seen we didnt have power for weeks, neither did anyone else in the state though.

Don't know where this is from

My wife got an email with a bunch of; "Oh yeah, our storm was worse than your storm" class of pics.

I'll stop complaining now.

(The second pic looks remotely like Charleston SC. Anybody have a guess?)
