Man were good  Grin  j/k   The light company sent some people that way this morning and then a second wave to around Mesquite, TX for the ice that is suppose to hit their tonight.  I sure hope it gets out of their and leaves as little damage as possible.  Being with out power when it is in the teens is no fun...

 Shocked  That looks like a bad situation.  Those limbs aren't going to hold the ice all nice without starting to break.  Lets just hope the ice melts before too many of them snap....on your power lines.

Folks are on the "end of the line"  and when Ike hit the only thing that got they're power on quicker was two elderly relatives living on the same line. Pops had a plug built into the garage to hook a miller bobcat welder to but after 1 1/2 weeks of listening to that said F that!!! They went and got a propane generator that runs itself once a week and comes on 3 seconds after it senses the power going out. Power has quit twice since Ike and they didn't even know it till they walked outside and heard it running. Was costly at first but the guys they bought it from come out and do the maintenance on it the whole nine yards. They said it was the best thing since slice bread Grin Grin
