[QUOTE="Rruuff Day, post: 106757, member: 2217"] Well. It,s been a month since there has been any activity on the Canadian Weather thread so I thought I would share our wind storm story from Wednesday evening. I was working in my shop and about 4 o'clock, I came out to a raging windstorm. Told Brenda to draw some water as it looked like it was getting worse... No sooner got the words out when all of a sudden there was a huge crack and one of our laneway trees came down and took all our powerlines with it... By the end of the storm, I can't count how many trees we lost. In the laneway alone, probably a dozen..And the powerline between three separate poles... and down below the house in the treed area, I can't even guess how many trees... I will take the quad and get some more pictures down there later... Various neighbours lost everything from siding, to roofs, to grain bins.... 30 hours later (11:00 last night, we got power back (although we do have a stand-by generator so were not too hard done by).... Full kudos to Equis, our electrical provider...right from the time I called to advise, to getting service again... All of central Alberta was plagued with trees across powerlines and broken poles so my farm priority, especially with me having a generator, appeared to be more important to them than it was to Brenda and I. So once again...Full marks to Equis and the great pair of guys that worked all day and then into the late night in my yard... Anyhows... a couple pics for now... The powerline cuprit [ATTACH=full]8781[/ATTACH] Stand-by power [ATTACH=full]8782[/ATTACH] Don't step in the puddle [ATTACH=full]8783[/ATTACH] Equis men to the rescue 24 hours later... [ATTACH=full]8784[/ATTACH] Still at it... [ATTACH=full]8785[/ATTACH] These guys don't take a break... [ATTACH=full]8786[/ATTACH] And even take time to pose for a picture for Brenda.... Of course she did reward them with butter tarts for the drive home.... [ATTACH=full]8787[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
