rogerluli Posted February 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Evidently the power towers in the South were never designed to withstand the ice loads they have on them now...3 men died on one alone as it collapsed while they were trying to chip off ice... Link to comment

My wife is from the North and all but one inlaw does not work for a power company, owe and my wife did not. Anyway one brother and his wife will transfer to Chengdu after my wife's meeting a high up official when he came to Texas for graduation. I guess her brother and sister-in-law will be looking at some trouble down there. I don't have those channels Y'all speak of and wife wouldn't watch TV anyway. I will let her know and see how things are, or will be for her family. Link to comment
