A speciall accident

Tweet

Yesterday about 3:30 in the afternoon everything in the house went dead. We are a country home an use to power failures often, usually they come with storms. No storm today, no warning. Then we got the news, a power pole was down on our property. Someone across the creek had caught the wires on their truck and pulled hard enough to break the pole on our side. I would have thought the wires would break first but this was not the case. Needless to say live wires were on the ground so the fire department was called, luck we had had rain or a hugh fire could have started. Pretty soon, about an hour later the power company showed up. HERE COMES THE GOOD STUFF. They got right to work, big trucks, 3 crews and their accident team. By next report, from Hubby, who went to supervise the recovery, the time to power being restored was about 6 to 7 hours. Very good news, the fire department had told us two to three days. About 3 hours later it was pitch dark with a storm on the way, but never fear the power guys had big lights and never stopped, sure enough by 10:00PM power was returned to our little house and even those across the creek. Yes the power is expensive, but I for one am greatful to this company who responded so fast and with little or not delay repaired our pole. True it was a quite day and there was no sever calls for their services, if things had been different and one of our heavy storms had been going on the service would have been much slower so I am also thankful to Mother Earth for the delay in the storm which will show up today. By the way the cost for this accident is over $15,000. I sure hope the guy who caused it has insurance. If there can be a happy accident this was it.
