They'll need a crane to pick the broken ruins up again

... and that's exactly what PSE took along with a cherry picker and mass quantities of people & floodlights and went to work with much yelling over the equipment noise. Mom said that some lines were already up by the time she got home from our place yesterday afternoon before dark, but she watched the real excavation take place over the next 6 hours in the dark. Power is on and apparently holding steady although her phone took longer to come back.

Also, her neighbor with the tree in the garage? Behind the garage are bedrooms that were also hit. Someone had an idea about an hour before the tree fell in to move all their mattresses in the living room, the center of the house.

The 5-year-old's boxspring was destroyed by the tree.
