Divide County is the most NW county in the state of North Dakota. It is directly south of where I live. So Divide and the adjacent counties experienced the same nasty storm we had on April 30. [Since Blogger no longer posts hi-def photos, you have to click on the pix to enlarge and see anything clearly!]
Unfortunately, some 360 power poles went down. So no electricity, and very cold. Power was restored to Crosby area by Sunday night. The grocery store was busy with people - mostly talking about The Storm...
Crosby is the Divide County Seat. I've been going to this little town my entire life - well, except for those 30+ years I lived elsewhere in Canada and far away from dear old Divide County hugging the International Border.
The main drag yesterday about noon.
The Courthouse
A peaceful, but snowy street
As of yesterday, the city of Williston, 50-60 miles south and west was still without power. Some 30,000 people. It's one of those unfortunate wake-up calls about how reliant we all are on electricity.
