A couple of huge sycamore trees down in the creek. We counted 7 down total. We have never seen such large ones come down in the spring storms.

There was a tragicomic story in our village today. Some unlucky owner hired visiting Tajiks to work at his site. In principle, they are good guys, but the place where they were born does not seem to be teeming with forest at all. This is some kind of foothills where sheep graze. These Tajiks, without thinking twice, decided to cut down a huge and thick birch. But they do not know how to cut trees at all. As a result, the tree fell not at all where they planned. Fortunately, no one died or was injured. But at the same time, they broke the reinforced concrete pole of the power line, and broke all the wires.
I worked in a greenhouse. returned home - and then the lights go out. And I have an incubator and duck eggs! I had to start the generator.
Frankly, I thought the repair of all this would take at least a week, or even six months.
But the electricians behaved extremely unusually (for Russia, this is generally something new, in our country no one is ever in a hurry to go anywhere).
In general, some kind of drilling machine arrived, a new concrete pillar was installed, and all the wires were connected back.
I would still understand if we lived in some kind of security or military facility - but this village is nothing more than a small village in the forest, where only summer residents live and people like me who keep goats or chickens.
In less than 3-4 hours, both electricity and even the Internet started working again (these wires were also broken). Of course, I am very glad that my duck eggs did not get cold and I did not have to throw them away, but, to be honest, I am very surprised. I'm not at all used to this.
In general, these adventures cost me a small can of gasoline for the generator, and I also had to give the goats a bag of barley, because we did not go to graze on the grass, but sat at home and waited for electricity to be given. I was afraid to leave - suddenly the generator would stall, and my eggs would cool down.
