As I was JUST about to do the dreaded BILLS - PHOOF - the power went out!
Walked outside and there was a HELCO truck - now that's quick service!
The neighbors where out and I found out one of them had called the Fire Department and HELCO - a tree limb had fallen in the win; landed across the the line and caught fire! A BIG POP then Smoke and Flames! The power line separated just after arrived HELCO arrived.
I know there is a REASONABLE explanation but the HELCO truck was here at least 10 minutes BEFORE the Fire Department??????
Within an hour and a half - we had our power back!
