I’m glad you got some rain, but sorry it caused so much trouble. We have been so fortunate here, in that during the nine years I’ve lived here, I have seen one power outage, and it lasted about three hours, which is much longer than I expected.

We’ve had a few power outages of up to 12 hours, but only once or twice in 12 years. We had only flickers last night, and our street doesn’t flood.

Funny, I’ve been here since 2007 and we’ve only had one power outage.

Of course, that made national news.

As did the one in, what, 2004 when somoene over in the midwest knocked over a transmission pole and knocked the entire northeast off the grid? My family was in NYC without me for that one. I told them to climb back up the stairs to their hotel room and not come out until it was over, but thanks to Rudy people behaved much better than the 1977 blackout.

That makes three I know of.
