wind storm

January 1 was a wild day for Jeff, as the wind let out it's force on Bend. Jeff spent the entire day working on down power lines. This is one of the pictures he took of an area that was hit by the wind. It was reported that the wind gust got up to 65 mph and higher in some areas. Generally he doesn't have to go out on outages and can do most of it by the computer, but with 4,700 customers without power and being on call he had to go. It's been a mess since Dec. 31, Jeff's phone has been going off all night long since the then. Only 3 more nights of on call and then he can get some sleep.
