This is a picture of the oak tree with the widow-makers hanging down. 

I hope we can save the tree and don't have to have it removed.

The good news is that the tree crews are going up and down our street clearing the trees from the lines. That's the first step towards getting service restored. We also got a propane refill for the generator, so we don't have to worry about running out for a few more days. The generator has been running nonstop for almost 4 days now and it used about 1/2 the propane that we had. It cost $433.00 to fill up, and we think it's worth every penny and more.
