There are not many things that truly scare me but wind storms are one of the furies of Mother Nature that greatly unsettle me. It doesn’t help matters that my house is nestled amidst numerous very tall trees.
We had a doozy of a storm last night and the wind is still raging, pushing the rain sideways across the landscape.
In the wee hours of this morning a large branch came down on the wires attached to the post that holds the power connection directly feeding my hydro supply. That post now hangs precariously at a 45 degree angle – still barely attached to its mooring. The most disturbing part of this situation is that the power is now back on.

I am currently sitting in my car waiting for the cavalry to ride in on their white trucks and rectify the dangerous situation my house is in. With a live power supply – those wires could spark any time. I am staked out at the end of the driveway watching for any sparks – poised to dial 9-11 if the need arises an my dog is safely snuggled in the back seat.
Fingers crossed they arrive soon!

Sounds scary, can completely sympathise with you!
It’s not a fun feeling, for sure.
hope the problem has been resolved by now.
Still staying at the hotel….the wires are still live and it’s unsafe to be there. 😦
Oh, I’m so very sorry…I wish I could help you out!
Thanks….I appreciate that. 🙂
Ugh, that sounds horrible. Hope it gets resolved soon.
Thank you.
Oh no!
Bad deal for sure….I’m just hoping the lines don’t start to spark.
They still haven’t been out yet?
I hope you’re okay, Susan. Be safe!
Thanks Jill…staying at the lodge I work at, so at least I’ll be able to get some sleep!
I’m glad you’re safe, Susan.
Hope everything turned out alright ! I hear you though, can’t stand those windstorms.. or thunder. Shudder.
Tall trees and wind are scary
I love thunderstorms….I hate wind storms.
