No Weather No Power
March 23rd, 2009 | 
Author: Neeld Estate at Plum Point was without AC power this Sunday. I’m told the power went out around 2:00 PM. We know it came on just after midnight on Monday. What we don’t know is why? There was no weather to speak of and no apparent reason for ten hours without power. Events like this are are less chronic than they used to be but still, in the 21st century and after paying OUTRAGEOUS power bills to Barely Gas and Electric this Winter I don’t expect this kind of inconvenience. What do you think?

Getting word via Twitter from Penguinsix that the cause was a vehicle crash. More driving news from Maryland.
One stupid truck took out one stupid pole and 1825 people were blacked out for 10 hours. That math just doesn’t seem right.
The pole in question is on the West side of 261, between Brownies Beach and the Randle Cliffs. If you drive by you’ll see a pole with a ‘box’ on the bottom of it, and the next pole to the North has some straw on the ground and truck tracks. That’s the one that got hit. At the time the ‘box’ and transformers were on that pole, which led to more problems getting it replaced.
When I saw the accident (on the way to buy ice to keep the fridge cool) I new immediately it was going to be a 10+ hour thing. This is the second time a pole in this part of 261 was cut in the last year. They are simply too close to the road–literally just a few feet over the edge in some places and folks drive a bit nuts around here on a good day.
