I know that posting this so late will get little attention but it's what we need to do.

7. I live on the northside of Pittsburgh and the storm wasn't too bad here THIS time!

But we've had many storms where trees came down or branches knocked down power lines. Our area consists of older houses that were mostly built in the 1930s and 40s. Almost all the properties have older trees which drop branches from time to time.

A few years ago we had a bad storm, a tree came down on our power line and my entire neighborhood was without power for 6 days! Whenever these problems occur it's almost always where the power lines are above ground, and the trees haven't been trimmed back. The rescue/repair workers can only fix so many problems per day and they cannot work in the dark, only during the daylight hours. It's a matter of prioritizing which neighborhoods get repaired first.
