Yeah two weeks. The power company that supplied our area had 99% of its power poles knocked down. Not just the power lines down but the poles themselves were down. They got their power from a power plant that was located just south of Harrisburg, Miss. (100+ miles south of us). The closest town to get gas was 30 miles east and it was rationed because they had power problems and delivery problems. A major portion of resources were concentrated on the coastal areas.
We were lucky and had a generator but could only run it for so long each day. Mostly for the fridge and a couple of fans and one or two lights at night. Getting fuel was a very big problem. At one point I was worried about driving the 30 miles only to find no fuel and not being able to get back because the truck need fuel also.
