We are almost at the end of 2 weeks of snow and ice in Salem Oregon. Unheard of here. On Sunday night about 6 pm I heard a crack and a crash and then the lights went out. Across the street a tree branch had broken and taken out the power line. Today (72 hours later) we finally have electricity thanks to a crew from Idaho that came over to help out with all the outages in the city. Apparently there are also crews from Washington and California here.
Anyway here are some photos of the mess. This is the down limb and power line.
