Damage can occur to a customer's side of the electric connection, too. The City's infrastructure connects to your house, passing through a meter to your service panel. For power to be fully restored, both sides need to be properly functioning. youtu.be/Z8E-OlgbKdM?si=xvuz…

Fallen trees and limbs entangled in power lines add complexity to electric power restoration efforts. It heightens safety risks, especially overnight, during a flood warning with the rain still coming down, limiting visibility. (1/3)
