The lack of activite on the site this week, leads me to wonder if the wide spread power outage has affected many of the users. I lucked out this time around (unlike the hurricane) as my power stayed on through last weekends snow storm.

I drove to work yesterday to do what I could without power there and saw how extensive the outage is throughout central CT. I hope everyone is OK and if anyone needs anything, a shower, warm meal or whatever the door is open in Salem.

Nothing worse when you work for the power company, and your hands are tied. Can't even put your own lights back on[list=][/list]

Sat night a tree fell across the street onto my neighbors line and it tugged on the pole. I guess my power lines were too taught and they along with the weatherhead/conduit got ripped off the house. Still had juice until UI cut the lines Sunday AM (2 hours before family arrived for a week visit).

Had electricians come to the house Sunday, 2 of them and they had to replace my meter box and run new wires. Tuesday mid day the juice came back on.

Now I am dealing with homeowners insurance......
