The heck with PECO. As a resident of Horshamtowne, I'd like to thank the guys from Mead electric from Illinois in getting our power on yesterday. Stopped by one of their trucks and talked to some of the workers. Very friendly. Earlier in the day, they told me they hope to have us up and running noon or so and think we were with power at about 1.

I have had it with peco!! our electric goes out with a small breeze! the october snow storm we had last year we had no electric for a week! so far we have no electric since monday..who knows how long it will be off this time

With the Magtitute of this Storm, I give PP&L all the credit in the world for Working around the clock to restore Power. People who have never had to deal with 6000 volts of Power really don't know what it's Like. I have trouble dealing with 440 or 880 Volts.

We have an 82 year old neighbor with no power, and a tree on her power line and roof. This is a serious danger. If the power comes on with that tree on her line, there could be a fire. They will not even come out and access the situation. Of course, they have their hands full. But it would take them 10 minutes to assess the situationion and cut it away from the line. Scary.

Oops, make that "assess" the situation

Thanks PECO for planning ahead and bringing in crews from other areas. Power was restored within 24 hours. Being prepared meant no real heartache or headache other than keeping generator gassed up. Hardest part was moving to generator to families house in Southampton who are still without power.

Anyone watching the news or just walking around after the storm can see that high winds and exposed power lines just don't mix. Instead of having to fix post-storm damage PECO and other utilities need to begin burying all above-ground power lines. Investing in prevention will pay off for everyone in the long run. PECO should immediately begin to implement this much needed preventive measure.
