What a mess ! Looks like you are likely going to loose power too .

Well, here is my F150.

However the photos don't show the pickup's history... so it is OK.

Power has been out since Saturday afternoon 1/13. Now is Tuesday 1/16. We still have lots of ice, but no estimate for power to be restored.

Unfortunately I'm in an orphan suburb with EWEB (Eugene, OR) power, and they seem to be prioritizing the city first, claiming the rural area is "too difficult".

Power lines I saw today didn't look bad except 2 spots.

Good luck, no power is royal pain in the butt.

That sucks. Our more rural areas usually are out 2-3 weeks after an ice storm. I service lots of generators out their way.

my house, most is 12-24 hours usually.

Most years power is only out a day or two. A big snow 5 years ago and it was out for a week.

But, the rural power companies are working hard to restore power, but the urban one with some rural customers has claimed it is too dangerous to take care of the rural customers.

The ice should melt tonight.

Rural areas are scary places for city boys.

I decided a few years ago to go whole house generator and have no regrets. IIRC less than $8000 installed.

Be careful out there, ice creates strange stress on branches when cutting.
