That's why there are ten utility truck from MISSOURI working a half-mile from my house (in OHIO) to replace multiple utility lines and poles that got knocked down by trees in the storm.
I live in western suburb of Cleveland. We got smashed along the lake. Winds barreling across the open waters of Lake Erie knocked down a lot of trees near me.
The last electrical is predicted to be restored by midnight Monday. Some people here in N. Ohio have had no power since Monday night.
Seven days is long time w/o power.
When I was a kid living just east of Buffalo (noted for plenty of bad winter weather) our power was only out for ~24 hr once. The rest of the time it was under ~12 hr until we were restored.
Now that I'm all grown up, I've had to put up with power out for up to 7 days.
Now I'm prepared to generate my own minimal power as required. I'm not sure what happened between the 60's and "the Future" (unmetered nuclear power et.al.).
