Ice Storm Damage
December 28, 2013 by staff
Ice Storm Damage, Each tree limb trimmed brings utility crews closer to fully restoring power lost in Saturday’s ice storm. Friday morning, Shawn Murray watched on, eagerly awaiting the return of electricity to his Enosburgh home.
“It’s been hectic,” he said. “No power– for the first time in four days got it back Christmas Eve, lost it again yesterday.”
But power won’t solve all his problems. A limb threatens the roof of his trailer, literally hanging over his head and keeping him up at night.
“Cracking, worried about my kids getting hurt in the trailer,” Murray said. “It’s scary not knowing if it’s going to fall through my trailer, wake up in the morning with a tree laying on me or something.”
For many sugarers in the area it’s their business, not home, that’s in jeopardy. Power crews successfully restored most downed electrical lines, but can’t help with down sap lines. Those tapping higher elevations say they haven’t found much damage.
“It’s not too bad up here,” sugar maker Greg Sweet said. “We just got to deal with the snow.”
But those below say the storm could be ruinous.
“We’re expecting a real severe impact on what we can produce,” Amanda St. Pierre said. “It’s early, but you know, with this additional snow, the damage is not stopping.”
