6th night without power. I’m so over it. Anxious AF.
@Reonn @CEOofmyhouse56 crap, what area are you in? I checked the outages list and it was still huge yesterday. I'm in a rural area that gets regular outages, but they are usually resolved within about 12 hours. But the amount of trees down, damaged or basically exploded on the drive out from the city today was... exceptional. I'm not surprised it's taking them quite a while to rectify all the issues.
Sounds awful. Hang in there, they are working on it. The damage was so extensive and there’s only so many repair crews. Are you able to stay with someone overnight to get a break from it?
Farken hell. Did they at least set a vera up?
How come? That seems like a rather long time to be without power.
You are right, it IS a long time. Things are more complicated up in the hills. Too many trees.
