Got the generator working. Looks like National Grid reporting 36,000 in our county alone, not to mention NYSEG.. Several poles tipped out, and high tension lines touched ground. What a blinding flash! The ground so super saturated with water, no frost in the ground. Convoys of utility trucks,names of which I've never heard of.
Bubba,i remember that ice storm, years ago that Quebec got right down into your area. Lasted for days. Anything close to that?
