Bob Chill Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I am shocked we haven't lost power here - usually one of the first places to go. I'm in 20853, We've been pretty much sucking for the last 3 years. Feb bliz 3 days, July 2010 2.5 days, and Jan of this year 3 days. My house got down to 38 degrees in Jan and we have a gas fireplace. Lotsa trees and pole power ftl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDstorm Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I am shocked we haven't lost power here - usually one of the first places to go. Same here in western Howard County. We usually lose power in garden variety thunderstorms. So far, just some flickering and a 2 second loss of power. Most of the day has been just rainy with occasional brief gusts. The last hour has seen a definite increase in winds. With my luck, the last gust of the storm will knock out my power. MDstorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a similar experience power wise in Highland (literally a minute away from Clarksville) -- has flickered at least like 12-14 times, but only gone out to the point of re-starting the computer/TV once (for like 4 seconds).

Maybe I'll try again soon, but tomorrow will be hell either way. After 2/11/06 when I fell asleep and missed thundersnow ,I try to avoid sleeping for extended periods of time during events, ha (fortunately I made up for it by seeing thundersnow during the first Feb Blizz last year) Have to be up to start my day in about 5 hours, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
