Powerful without power

A powerful summer storm ripped through Muskoka last night and it knocked out power to the entire area.

I lost 4 trees to the storm, including one that is being kept from blocking the road by being supported by the power and phone lines. It isn’t a pretty sight.

Phone service is up as is our cellular network. Why are these companies generally better at building survivable networks?

I’ll be writing about a couple notable telecom failures when power is restored. We’re in hour 12 now.
