The POCO's have a daunting task. Only people in the business truly understand the task they face. Bonehead reporters asking stupid questions are NO help. As if reconnecting 2.5 million services is like running a cord to an receptacle. I now have power back due to the hard work of these people. Each line crew is preceded by a forestry crew clearing the large pine trees that fell across the lines. This area is heavy forest with 100' tall pines. Most feeders go thru the forest in a 50' wide easement. The homes are served by a mixture of UG & overhead service. Google Kingwood TX and you will understand. And, we are but 15-20 sq miles of hundreds of sq miles of mostly dark area. Big task at hand. My many thanks to all the crews from across the US sending us help. Trust me MANY here appreciate the help. Robert
