The Garden Party

I guess we are repaying the favor

11 years ago

Several years ago we had a devastating ice and snow storm that knocked out power for weeks. Linemen came from all over to help get us back running. A number of the linemen came from West Virginia and now 16 linemen from the NPPD, Nebraska Public Power District are going to Charlestown WV to help get things back up. Neighbor 2 doors north is one of the linemen that left this morning.

That is fantastic that they're traveling so far away to help! I do hope all is even now and we'll all get by for a while without needing help. I really hope so.

There are lineman from our California Utility helping out, bringing some of their equipment with them.
