Well damn!
« on: November 24, 2003, 02:45:24 PM »
Two days ago at around 1:00 AM, it was rainin pretty hard and i woke up to a loud crash, which i assumed was thunder, so i went back to sleep. The next morning i woke up to find i had no power in half of the house, so i went out back to flip the breakers, and to my surprise, there's a friggin tree sitting on the power line coming into the house. Power pole's leaning over, breaker box was pulled out of the house with some really nasty looking sparks arcing from it! :eek: Called OG&E, had them come out and cut the power and stuff. Spent the night in a motel, finally got everything fixed about two hours ago.

Check your electronics for abnormalties...when they power back up, it's not uncommon for a surge to weaken or end the life of printed circuits.

I'm glad that there were only minor damages; could've been much worse.
