I saw a news clip of high voltage towers toppled over on each other----that is not common
My friend told me of a storm in Quebec where runs of towers went down due to high winds and ice loads---he was out of power more than a week. I have not seen anything similar to those clips from Houston due entirely to wind.
Glad our "guys" are good
