Reply to comment by westplains1865 in Factbox: About 1.2 million without power in United States from winter storms by Smithy2232
Not an expert, but a front ripped through last night that was pretty brutal. I'm in NH, happened to be driving when it happened. I left my house and things were calm, then things were very not calm, car being blown around, branches coming down everywhere. By the time I got downtown the power was out almost everywhere. Like supermarkets with full parking lots just 100% dark inside. It wasn't like outages in used to where you'll see pockets without power, this was most of the town. Driving home was nuts, just so many trees down everywhere. Almost couldn't get home because 2 out of 3 routes were blocked by big trees and power lines in the road.
We've had some wild weather in the last couple years that I would have thought had cleared all the at risk trees, but I guess not.
