Got hammered with some nasty storms last night, expecting it again tonight, powelines and tranformers down all over the place. Plenty of roof work out here as well now. I bet I'm going to regret not buying a battery back-up sump pump by the end of the weekend.

I'd have drug that transformer around to the back of the house. When things are patched up, you can sell it on eBay to Tesla coil buliders.

Not sure I could lift it but you can bet the PoCo out here will try reusing it.

Now here's a weird one a few blocks over the power has been out for 2 days but on the front lawn (near the front entrance, not where municipal lights would normally be) of this guys house there is what looks like an old municipal light, although a little short, is on. I think it's always on day or night, no one has power (including that house) but that light is still on.
