Just to add one more thing. I couldn’t go to work that week because of all the electric poles down and because I was in a SHTF situation. When I went back to work the first day back I think I sort of knew what war veterans felt like when coming back to the country. After everything I had been through it was was such a strong, odd, real feeling like I’ve never had before and luckily haven’t had since.
I’ll also never forget the day the trucks hooked us back up to the grid. I live in (M)assachusetts. The crew was from Washington state.

**********************
Our electric crews always go to other states to help restore power, but we don’t do snow, that I have ever heard of. I have never known them to go North anyway in winter. Our crews usually respond to tornado and hurricane issues. Farmers here also send semi-truck loads of hay during droughts, even to those that full-on hate the South.
