disasters: Use extra caution with electricity during a natural disaster.

Hurricane Sandy left the Shenandoah Valley wet and soggy today. She also left a lot of people without electricity. One resident had her electrical service turned off because water was running into her electrical service panel. The fire company responded to a distress call and found water running into her electrical service and shut it down. Then, they called me. I went to see what we could do to get her back up and running. During the inspection of the problem I talked to the electrical company about turning her off at the electric pole, but they were too backed up. (13 comments)
