Still a lot of folks here in the Northwest without. It’s really tough for people who rely on power to run a well pump in order to have running water. Some homes also use a grinder pump for sewage, so they can’t even flush without electricity. It’s amazing how dependent we’ve become in only about a century.

I just got my power back on Sunday at noon. Very interesting, doing this NO power thingy. Don't think I like it. We didn't have gas, so, NO hot water, heat of any kind. just good old candle's, flashlights and cold sanny's. A warm shower would have been nice. Glad you and Ponzi and the P&W are all fine.

That's awful. We were without electricity over night several months ago when a drunk driver slammed into an electrical line. I thought 12 hours was bad... I guess I was lucky. I can't imagine going that long. Amazing! That’s awful. We were without electricity over night several months ago when a drunk driver slammed into an electrical line.

Didn't you mean: I’ll never take a light bulb for granted again! I was out of power for about 1 hour here near Philly but, like you, was still able to cook and stay warm. Now what I would like is a natural gas-powered emergency electric generator. You said:
“I’ll never take advantage of a light bulb again!”

I hope the region recovers soon. Best of luck! Going without power is not fun, but you WERE blessed with gas heat. I hope the region recovers soon. Best of luck!
