Outage was only ~10 mins. - which is typical. We get one every 2-3 months. 
Probably would be worse if we didn't have municipal power (Hardwick Electric 
Dept.).

Some years ago PP&L took down the house my dear wife grew up in, in Bucks 
Co., for a big power line. House was pre-revolutionary, but that didn't seem 
to matter. Now it's just an overgrown field with high-tension wires over it.

This happens here much too often.  At times, I feel we're a third  world
country.  This frequent outage (you can make that outrage!)  didn't
happen in the Upper Midwest where the weather was a lot more
troublesome than here.

PPL (PA Power and Light) is without explanation.

And on the subject of the power company, their minions were in this
development during the last couple of weeks trimming trees along the
power lines.  This happened twice in the past thirty years I've lived  here,
and there was much damage done to specimen trees each time.

The trimmers seem to be gone, and have left us alone this time  TBTG.
