What's the difference between a rain storm and wind storm? To the average Joe, the difference is the amount of water. This can be very important for those whose basements tend to leak. However, power lines are only concerned with the debry contact them. As in, a wind storm can cause just as much if not more damage than a rain storm, thunderstorm, or lightning storm.
Mike and I knew this, but relearned the lesson last week Sunday night. All night long the wind was blowing incredibly hard! Hard enough that Mike worked 16 hours on Monday and 12 hours on Tuesday.
Wouldnt you know this week also brought strong winds? Tuesday night's wind kept me up most of the night. It almost sounded like the building was going to start coming apart! So Wednesday morning, 6:00 am, Mike got the call to show up to work ASAP to start the restoration. Yesterday was a 17 hour day for him.
I'm so proud of my husband and his willingness and excitement to help with storm restorations. While he's not a lineman doing the actual restoration, he knows that his auxilary work will be restoring power to the 40,000 customers without it. How awesome is that? He's a hero.
