A bunch of Rural Electrics from South Dakota sent crews to western Nebraska. Heard they were hit real hard. Sounded like they wanted them for a couple more weeks.

I wonder how hard it is to repair a transmission structure with bundled cables...

its a royal pain we did a job in delaware that had 230 bundled over 115 single. tornado came through and sucked off a garage door which got wraped inbetween the two decks, must have been a hell of a lightshow. in the middle of the swamp over course...the worst part was matting the equipment in to replace half a span

what make the steel towers buckle like that.

[Bull Dog]

Reminds me of the same thing we had here few years back. over 250 towers down. When a tower goes down the weight shifts to the one next to it and it creates a domino effect. Those boys are in for a long haul. It will take months to fix all that. We were still finding junk wire in the swamps a year later.
