Yesterday a.m. we got up as usual and got ready. As I was making breakfast I heard a loud noise, saw sparks fly in our neighbors backyard and then the lights/electricity all went out...total blackness. It all came back on for a second the the noise again then sparks again, but in the front of the neighbors house. Then a big ball of fire in the middle of the road. The power lines fell. One last time it gave a loud noise, sparks and a huge ball of fire. It was either the snow was too heavy or a combination of the neighbors tree branches and the heavy snow that caused all the excitement. Maria and I went to see the road last night and it had holes across the road...too hot!
Neighbors had already called when we had called in.
It was a little scary, but very eventful. A little late for work. We did get to eat by candle light...

WOW! That would have been scary! Glad to hear nothing happened to anyone and nothing serious came out of it!
