    None maintenance has caused a lot of these damages to light poles, in the housing scheme where I live, I was shocked one morning on one of my morning exercises (first time paasing that area) to see two wooden electrical poles tilted, I was scared to passed, didnt take my eyes off them until i cleared tht area
    Hence the reason I came to the conclusion that some of these poles were accidents just waiting to happen

      The longer distance and more trees to encounter will be the longer it takes to restore power.
      Roads must be cleared and trees removed from the lines! Some l8nes have to be rebuilt.

    People have to be patient on restoration after a natural disaster, have to be thankful so many lives were spared. Beryl, caused damages to Texas and people here has to be patient for the power company to restore services.

    I hate to tell the people from Hill Run that they will always be getting the flood water from Spanish Town, because that's where the land naturally slopes to. Better drainage is definitely needed though but our representatives lack the will
