40 miles south of the peoples republic of Austin (Wimberley area);
gigantic loss of trees and limbs everywhere. Looks like a hurricane hit. Kudos to our electric co-op (PEC) for the aggressive tree trimming program they recently employed. It paid off, only a few flickers now and then, but no loss of heat. All chippers sold out immediately. We'll have firewood for years. Looking forward to harvesting my friends Mesquite tree fallen limbs for cooking up some pork. This unfortunately looks to be the status quo for the future, but only the shadow knows!
