Power off on Welch

Slickcraft · 09-12-2013, 05:42 AM

The power went off at the height of the storm last night. We are on the north branch. don't know about the south branch.
It was quite a storm over here,

My cameras went dead at 9:07 P.M.

Hopefully they get it fixed this afternoon or I will be taking a ride up after work to get generator going to save food in refrigerator!!

Large tree down near #52 Welch, took all the lines to the ground. Situation was reported to PSNH at about 6:15 am today.

Just spoke with my neighbor on Welch, power was restored about 15 minutes ago (1:00 P.M.)

power company called and I said I am still out. They said are you sure ?

there's 2 breakers on the island I believe.
She said they will look into

Power may be on but who knows if Fairpoint DSL has been fixed. I doubt PSNH is going to touch their lines...

That large tree cut through the power lines and took the phone cable almost to the ground. Had to have done some damage.

Pretty typical for Fairpoint! You can't get in touch with them on a good day! That's why I said good luck...
