First Ike, then the Ice Storm and not destructive winds! With the 1000's if not 1,000,000's of widow makers hanging in trees should see more power outages. I know in my yard along I have well over 100 of them and some are HUGE.
This is just what we need now ... high winds and many still do not have power restored yet.
