we've learned that their power is back on Estelline .... the town's electrical cables are underground so when it goes out they start looking for the problem where service is connected to the town .... in the picture showing a fellow standing beside a root ball of a downed tree gives you an appreciation for the size .... the fellow is one of her brothers and he's over 6' tall .... family from out of town that came through without damage are coming to help .... very few people burn wood so much of the debris will have to be hauled off

gotta love a small town .... family and friends from all around came and helped cleanup the storm damage in Estelline .... some brought heavy duty farm equipment that was pressed into debris removal service .... in one day's time, uprooted trees were removed and where their roots had been, fill dirt has been leveled

Nice for those folks to have the advantage of the small town living. If that were a larger city without local help those folks would have to wait for FEMA and the clean up would take weeks to months. Small town America at it’s best!
