Last FALL, a raging hurricane roared
up the eastern seaboard and left a
$400,000,000 trail of wreckage from
North Carolina to Maine.
Falling trees crushed houses, cars
and power lines. Poles were snapped
off by the fury of the storm. Hundreds
of towns, millions of people had no
electric service.
The electric light and power com
panies moved fast. Line crews worked
around the clock. 18-hour stretches
were common. Clerks, meter readers
everybody pitched in to replace work
erg now at war. Short-wave radio helped
direct the job.
Men and equipment came to New
England from other electric companies
at far west ai Ohio and Michigan. In
fact, some trucks were already rolling
before the storm struck.
In most cases, service was quickly
restored. Hospitals got first priority,
then war plants. It was a staggering
job, swiftly done and helped immea
surably by the patience and under
standing of customers. c
This hurricane like fires, floods,
tornadoes across the country drama
tized anew the fact that only a major
disaster can interrupt electric service.
It proved again that business-man-aged
electric companies are organized
and able to inert nny emergency as
completely as they met America's great
est emergency tear.
