    If you can’t drive down the road and see that our line system is trash then I don’t know what to tell you. It is a tangled mess of epic proportions with trees not maintained. It is the infrastructure itself.

      Again, it’s not the lineman’s fault it just is what it is.

        Not so much the infrastructure as it is companies not willing to spend the money to trim trees. You could make do with a piece of wood and an insulator. But when they wont spend the money to keep trees properly trimmed it doesnt matter. They will not do it. I was at oncor for several years and its pulling teeth to get them to trim anything.

          My farm between Canton and Grand Saline has been without power since midnight.

          Generator is burning some expensive propane gas waiting on Oncor.

                On the back of my property trees are growing under, through and above the power lines. They can't get do them because of two creeks.

                  Yes. Gas ( and propane) are expensive)

                  All good here in east brown county

                    Little over 30 hrs with no power here in south Hopkins county. Ice covered trees broken and fell over everywhere. Glad to have plenty of propane run most of my important stuff. Gas logs for heat, our cook stove is propane, and water heaters. Just cranked the generator to keep all that deer I just processed and put up, froze in the deep freeze. It was still frozen, but figured it was time to get it back to deep frozen! Good Huntin, and God Bless, Rusty

                      East of Centerville...3 hours this morning. Going on 1 hour now. And of course my new generator is somewhere between Memphis and here.

                          We’re in Streetman and about the same timeline. Luckily my generator purring right along in the back yard.

                            They have gone from:

                            "Oncor is aware of an outage impacting your area. At this time, we do not have a restoration time but are working quickly & safely to restore service."

                            To:

                            "ONCOR: Your area has extensive damage to equipment due to icing on trees and impacts to power lines. Crews are working as quickly and safely as possible to assess damages and make repairs. Restoration work will continue tonight and tomorrow and you may consider seeking alternate accommodations."

                              If two years didn’t give you enough time to prepare, well…….

                              Seems quite a few took the hint.

                                I'm ready. Was hoping for a good test but it looks like we are about done with this ice storm in Coke County.
