Crazy weather and extreme temperature. Power poles snapped like toothpicks.
Major traffic backups as the signal lights are not working.
Finding ice is another issue as people have to drive looking in nearby towns for it.
24 to 48 hours for power to be restored.

Finding ice? Why? Water is important but residents of Arizona lived for thousands of years without ever seeing ice.

Give that guy a big hand for the Daily Stick In the Eye Award. Congratulations. You are a WINNER!

One must wonder why in a country that is so prone to tornados and major wind events we continue to build our infrastructure above ground.

There has to be an effort. A real effort with real infrastructure improvements. Instead, we get massive pork and corruption tied to Infrastructure bills. Taming the effects of weather on the continent has to be done for the betterment of civilization.

I have no doubt it costs more money, but it may be a better investment in the long run. Maybe not everywhere, but in some places more prone to issues like this

Some rural areas have moved their utilities underground. There can be cases made for both sides of the argument. There’s also an argument for the metal poles used in FL and some other hurricane prone areas.

Metal poles are being installed in forested areas as well. Our area has numerous runs that have new metal poles. They get the wires above the trees and the poles are much more robust than wood.
