Hi all , Our power went out at 11am Saturday and we got power back about 5pm tonight , sister and BIL still out about three miles from me . He bought a 5500 watt genny last night at midnight , and we worked all day getting his house wired for the genny . I used extension cords all over my house and had just got a L14 plug this morning so I could wire up my well . We got it wired up at 4:30pm and the power came back on at 5 , go figure ! Lost a bunch of trees on the place , have one about 8-10" balanced across the old shed out back but no damage to anything , my wife watched it break off and fall real slow because of the trees on the far side of the shed . We got just over 1.25 inches of ice and about 6" of snow on top with 40 mph wind . Another storm watch in effect starting tomorrow morning . It wasn't too bad for us . A couple space heaters kept the house about 56* and we bought a new camp stove to cook on . We had a plow come by on Sunday so we could get out to the store for more supplies . Just a long weekend camping in the house and bathing in the kitchen sink ! Take care all ! ...Randy

Randy:

Where are you at in Iowa? I am in Johnson County - on the outskirts of Tiffin. Linn Co. REC did a good job of getting us back on. We came on when the town of Tiffin was put back on. We were out only about 15 hours. We are only a few miles from IaGary, but he is much more rural, so he was out quite a lot longer.

Gary

Hi Gary , I'm up on the east side Butler county about 2.5 miles west of 218 and about 4 miles north of Waverly or 6 miles due north of Shellrock and 3/4 mile west . The power company ( REC ) has dozens of poles down just around us so we are some of the lucky ones due to the terrain . Most of the poles are just off the side of the road and easy to get to . Mostly just north-south line poles were hit . got to go to work now . Take care . ...Randy

Randy-IA,
You don't live very far from Clarksville. I've heard of an auction or swap meet or something about old tractors that takes place in March in Clarksville. Can you give me any added info on that? I was born and raised on north side of Grundy Co, SW of New Hartford. LA in WI.

Yeah Gary when I was running for kerosene and gas for the generator on Sunday morning I saw you were back on or at least Tiffin was.

Your own trees on your drive must not have broke to bad.

We lost one tree and a few small limbs here.

Gary
