The driver was paying attention he was being cautious, there was little damage. Don’t always blame BELCO their lines are not at the bottom of the pole they just own the poles.

Come on now. Belco has done a great job of getting power back to the whole island in a greatly timely fashion AFTER A cat 3 storm. Mistakes happen.

Because of weather we have had, drivers should try to pay more attention knowing wires may be low!

Stop whining… you weren’t complaining when they got your power back online as fast as they could. These guys work very hard. Lot of band aid work afer the storm to get your fridge full of cold beers. Go out there and give them one next time huh!! pi$$ a$$ When was the last you got out there to clean up or cut your trees back in the middle of the night.

Here we go again. Belco just incase you don’t remember, there was hurricane force winds a few weeks ago. And there are a lot of hanging wires. Have someone go out and see what wires are hanging and start to fix them if not there will be many more tractor trailers pulling down hanging wires. Duhhhh.
