Re: Meanwhile, back at the Ranch

LOL, nice group effort everybody!

We had our share of 'Green Lightning' during Frances too. Unfortunately, the local power utility stopped their preventative tree-trimming program a few years back for *ahem* budgetary reasons. There are still something like 100,000+ people going on two weeks without power (yes, they lost it a full day before the storm hit).

They didn't shut down the grid either, so there was a near-constant array of green-blue flashes as the winds picked up. Some heads are going to roll over there once things settle down
