Four Tiered Power - HTT

This seems like a lot of power when there are only two or three houses per mile. What really caught my attention is the five guy wires. They look like they are fastened around the pole with nautical loops and knots. Maybe the Power Company is hiring oystermen or sailors to climb the poles. After all, they can handle bad weather and swaying back and forth on the masts without getting sick, so these poles are nothing for them. For instance when 40 or 50 mph winds are throwing water into your face at full force, these hardy men just grin. Who better to use during a hurricane? Those nautical knots are a dead giveaway! HTT
