Nope, still no power here going into day 4

Giant choke cherry blew over end of my driveway uprooted took out my shop wires and feed to my neighbors house, also eventually blew fuse of the transformer feeding about 6 of us still without power on a pretty main road.
Totally sucks as I was supposed to have had one of the 2 kitchens I am working on painted now, I was all set to begin primer on Wednesday. I am busier than ever so bad timing for me.
Hoping today they can get it fixed but I know they are overwhelmed or at least they were. About 400 in town still out.

I am sure it is worse on the Cape.

I’ll put up some pics later since I can’t upload from phone.

Feeling for you and your neighbors, Bruce.

Got me thinking about these choke cherry trees, as we call them. So I googled, and the species is described as being a shrub or small tree, rarely over 30 ft tall.... Mine is easily double that height and sounds like yours is too. Reminds me of the Norway maple in that they appear fine. Yet are full of rot, gnarly wood, or disease when they come down...

On my sprawling estate …. We have so many choke cherries and black walnut. They make such a mess but it creates a beautiful habitat for the birds and red squirrels.
