Well, thank heaven for small favors. Though from what I heard the storm's direction meant it was the mainland that got it in the neck. Halifax shut down, the Cobequid Pass closed.... Oy. When I was down there the weather was never that bad. Had some ugly storms to be sure, but never anything like this.
The electricity gets loose from the cables when they fall off the poles and touch the ground. Just put the cables back on the poles, assuming the poles are still standing there and haven't been invaded by the Russians after they blitzkrieg the Ukraine.
