we had a quarter bar substations that feed neighborhoods taken out. we have not had that kind of number here. that gives you the sense of the destructive nature in general. >> i have heard you say that there could be more power outages, it may not be over. >> today we had some lint that took some outages, or caused some outages for us -- some wind that caused some outages for us. the trees bent in ways they are not supposed to be in. it will only take the wind gusts at the wrong time in the wrong direction. that is where ricans the outages that will continue for the next few months. >> i heard someone mention today that they saw a limb close to a power line, and before the storm, you could call and someone would come out and cut it.
