Aftermath - 16 Hours After The Storm

Morning after the storm. We have power back after about 8 hours. Most of the 30000 customers are back on line. Our comcast internet is still off. Trees are down all over - knocking down power lines and cable lines. Does anyone still use land line phones? There were tornadoes north of us but we only got gusts of 55 mph. We had tons of rain making our sandy soil mush. Pine trees have shallow roots - and over they go. People here worship these 100 foot pine trees like India worships cows. Then they are mystified when the trees crush their houses and pull down power lines. This is not an act of God - it is an act of stupidity. Now excuse me why I go out and OCD my yard :-)
