We just got power back last night, been out since Sunday.
There were 30 pole trucks and support vehicles in town, including a couple of Bombardier tracked pole setters that I saw. Many of them were from Quebec. I don't know how many poles were down, but in many places they were looking for some ground to plant the new ones in.

Underground would have been real "easy" to work on, as much of it would have been hanging in thin air, or from the trees. I don't think anybody who was working on road repairs bothered to call DIG-SAFE.
The local substation was more or less hanging from its overhead wires. I didn't see it, but I understand that once the roads were open, they brought in a portable temporary substation and hooked that up.
They had one hundred and fifty percent community support. Anybody that threatened the workers in any way would have wound up as fill in some of the road repairs.
