Trees down calls...

Looks like we were spared down here in the gulf and you guys seem to be getting the brunt of it. We had one night of rain which was greatly needed and some wind, no damage here, not sure about further north but I haven't seen anything in the news.

With all this rain soaking the ground and the wind, you're going to see a lot more trees uprooted and down. Had a large poplar in my yard one year with wind and rain, came up root ball and all.

I am going to call Kerwin and have him take out every single tree in my back yard. I don't care what yard guy says.

Between the rain, wind, and fear of trees falling and deers running out, I saw a mouse run across the road. I had never seen one do that before.

Really? I saw one at the turn lane for gate 1 one day. Little bugger was freakin' out 'cuz he didn't know which way to go, and it wasn't raining.

Deer won't move in the rain unless something or someone moves them.

Well, I was dodging deer to get out of my housing development, just like I do almost every day. There was two deer standing in my side yard also.

I have a few really tall poplars. The one I always worry about is around 120' high. If it falls toward the house, I'll have two houses instead of one.

Tree down this morning around 3:45am across Little Cove Point Rd just outside the back gate of CRE. Had to turn around and go out the Post Office way.

Was still blocked off at 0645 this morning. Still hearing call after call after call -- "Local Box xxx, tree across the road, (address), call holding".

Also LOTS of PD MVA's -- drive carefully out there this morning.

Can't be a good day to work be for SMECO, I bet.

Like I said, deer don't move in the rain unless something spooks them. They can sense the weather coming and will find a place in the thick underbrush to lay down.

My husband won't be leaving for work until about 0830 so hopefully, it will be cleared by then. Must have been a huge tree if crews were working on it at 0345 and road was still shut down three hours later.

Just heard Flat Iron Road was under water. Sheriff's Deputy just called it in. I haven't heard much in the way of trees down this morning. Seems like the winds have slacked off compared to what they were last night.

However with looking at the Buoy data they are still reporting 45 mph wind gusts and 30 mph Sustained Winds.

Not as windy here at the office as it is at home.

SMECO outages are changing throughout the morning... the Leonardtown area was not colored at all last time I checked. SMECO Outage Map

There have been a grand total of.... TWO tree down calls all morning on the St. Mary's side. This of course doesn't include what wasn't called in. The Leonardtown area had an outage that stemmed from a wires down call on Belvedere Farm Lane.

As said before, the low-lying area of Flat Iron Rd is under water.
