Damaged




Severe storms blew through our small state yesterday. A branch blew down on the power line on the corner outside of our house; it burst into flame. CL&P them shut off power to our entire grid. The grid includes the local Catholic church & school. By 4AM, we had power, but our neighbors--who had localized damage--were told it might take days to get them back. Then the pole caught on fire again. CL&P deemed it better to fix it rather than letting a big church complex & school go with out power.

  4. Hi Bobbie,
    Great shot! Glad to hear they decided to fix the wires. Going without electricity isn't fun. Have a great day!

  5. Great processing . . . how could they even consider not fixing this right away?

  6. There were 126,000 homes without power in the state--they had to prioritize.

  9. Wicked storms! We, in the southern part of the state, were a little luckier this time. Glad you pulled through it okay.

  10. Great photo of everyday heroes who are on the job everyday but often not thought of until the emergency call. I like the processing you used here as it adds to the photo.
