Well, last Saturday SUCKED
We had a little mini blizzard blow thru late evening on Saturday.
At one point I was out looking for an overdue motorist.
I was only going 35 on a 65 mph highway.
Visibility was about a city block due to WIND and blowing snow.
Wind was a sustained 30 with gusts over 50 mph
We got about 4 inches of very wet stuff.
Every little town in the county had some form of power outage.
The longest was 5 hours for one town. The electric company
had to come from 45 miles away.
In the middle of this mess, 911 dispatch went DOWN.
No phones, no computers, ZIP. Had us out of business
for about 15 minutes.
Sometimes I really hate computers................................
On a clear night, I can see the other deputies emergency lights at least 10 miles away.
But it isnt flat here LOL
