my folks in gibsland (former sweet potato farmers, now heavily into tree farms) reported no structural damage, but massive damage to trees with the resulting loss of electric power, and the influx of linemen from many other jurisdictions.
most every electrical distribution company has substantially reduced the size of their emergency repair crews/fleets, nowadays the norm is co-operative agreements with many other distribution companies - including some that are surprising distances away.
