After hearing big electrical explosions my power went out, but then it came back on at which time I heard more electrical explosions. I'm happy that I have power again, but very surprised that it did come back on. I think when it went out last summer for almost 14 hours after a tree touched the lines they replaced the fuses with some kind of circuit breakers that auto reset themselves.
I have about 3 hours of battery backup for my internet if it goes out again so at least I'll have something to do unless the cable gets knocked out.
I'm still hearing electrical explosions. The power lines run between the houses in my backyard and there are large trees intertwined in them on my whole block. They used to keep them trimmed but then due to budget cutbacks they no longer trim them.
The wind and rain has really picked up and I'm seeing things go flying by outside.
