So I move to Cleveland in November of 1998 from San Antonio no less & experience 18 straight days of snow. Saw my 1st telephone pole catch fire where my new Avon neighbor explained to me that's what happens, when the salt accumulates then the sun hits the pole and kaboom! Did you know that could also happen when we don't get any rain for an extended period of time? That's what 13ABC in Toledo reports HERE. The residents who lost power for about 12 hours are entertaining about it. You have a great Friday-Eve & thanks for stopping by.
