Only fools were not afraid

Article Abstract:

A devastating ice storm hit Newport, NH, in 1998, bringing down more poles than all the storms since the 1960s combined. The worst in the history of New England, it forced every lineman in the district to go out and work the poles. It left Alan Noyes paralyzed, after he was struck by a snapping birch tree.
