The power line going to the house is the electric company's responsibility (as well as the power meter itself).

However, the weather head (pole sticking out of the power meter) is the responsibility of the house owner's electrician.

Several power lines are still down in various neighbor's back yards; after the power came back, I was told (by the power company) that the back yards and/or the fences that the lines were draped on were NOT safe to be around, and that they would get to them when they could.

Evidently, it's all about numbers right now here in Oke City--restore power to the greatest number of folks first.

On the other hand, though, most of the administrators of my hospital live nearby in a ritzy historical neighborhood (me, too, but mine's not as "ritzy"). No power for six of nine of them, so far. What I can't understand is why none of them bought a generator, when they make six figures minimum.

C'est la vie.
