The last weather castastrafee(SP) occured here in Salem in 1962. I have lived in my present home since July 1974. In all that time I have not expeirenced a weather related power failure.Why, you asked? All the cables and lines to my house are underground, so the tree limbs dont fall on them. To me that makes more sense that having to replace miles and miles of above ground lines every year or two. Think about this and ask your power companies when they are going to start this?
