Wtf. Power is out again

We have had power since yesterday. A few minutes ago I got a text saying power would be out until the 15th. Within seconds we lost power.

It just made it back on. I’m a retired electrician and used to do pole line work also. I saw bucket trucks up the road so decided to check.

What happened was after coming through here clearing lines they didn’t do a very good job of it. Some tree limbs were left next to the high voltage lines and shorted out. There should have been an inspector or supervisor follow out the line prior to being reenergized. This was a mistake that shouldn’t have happened.
