Apparently it was all part of the same massive front that spawned the tornadoes in Georgia and Alabama and the blizzards in the upper Great Plains. March weather is often stormy, particularly around the equinox which is still to come! We also had an extreme wind for about a day and a half, though it’s much too muddy here to have any dust.

My neighbor across the street had a tree limb fall onto a power line which caused a fire on the tree. The fire dept. came & just watched it until the tree limb fell to the ground. Since it was raining the fire just fizzled out. Our electric company has been under great critisism for several months - we have had 3 major power outages, yet the electric company is seeking major rate hikes. The electric company is way behind in trimming the trees & vines that cover the power lines............I have power lines across my back yard & will lose power on the sunniest of days........I have an easement next to my house, yet no company owns up to taking care of the overhanging trees - last year I spent $500. to have the trees trimmed that were hanging over my house.......I was not pleased..........
