Born in 1940, farm got hooked to REA in 48, but suppose that doesn't count. About 17 hours, small tornado Aug of 13. Tree in neighbor's woods took out our joint use service drop. Actually 6 homes in a row here on the lake shore were dark, but we are the only full-timers, others are weekend cabins. Took a ride into town around 2 AM. They had big feeder down, about 200 homes dark, so understood where their first goal was. When they got to us the next afternoon it only took a couple hours to get everybody back on line. Have a small generator on transfer switch, powers well pump & half the house. Fired it up around noon to pump water, cook a meal, & cool down the frig & freezer. Main cause of outages here is trees taking line down in windstorm, or a drunk takes out a pole. Only about 4 or 5 outages in the 12 years I have lived here. Willie
