Since the record breaking winter storm came down the chute on Sunday and Monday, blanketing East Texas with ice and snow, an army of workers have been restoring electrical power.
On Thursday, the Bradford Cafe in Montalba made special arrangements for those who had been climbing poles and driving trucks down slippery back roads to fix broken power lines. They ve been out working hard and there s no other place open around here, owner Jerry Ornelas said.
Montalba is just over 20 miles south of Athens on the way to Palestine. Like much of East Texas, the countryside is thick with trees. That makes it prime territory for broken limbs snapped by high winds or burdened down with snow.
