It warms my heart to hear a thank you for these hard working guys. Two of my sons work for a tree service that contracts with the power companies. Whenever and wherever there is a storm they volunteer for storm duty to go help clear the fallen trees and limbs so the lines can be restrung and power restored. Yes, they are paid overtime, but they are away from their worried families for a long time, sometimes weeks. They have been gone since last Monday, working 16 hour days without a break. Last year was terrible what with tornadoes and Hurricane Irene and that freak snow storm here in October. Often people do not realize the work involved in restoring power and get angry that it isn't back on sooner. Believe me, they are all doing their best!
