If it’s anything like Gov. Malloy of CT did last year, he will hold press conferences daily, demand they fix multiple transmission lines, substations and thousands of down poles/lines overnight. Whey that doesn’t happen he will then hold another press conference and tell them they are not prepared, lazy etc. then, throw someone from the PowerCo on stage.
Agreed that his statements are not helpful. Here near DC the power companies are already preparing for the storm, which is currently forecast to send it’s main fury north of us. We have still not cleaned up all of the damage from that storm June 29 of this year, although all of the power lines have been repaired.
Note for anyone who loses power, if they need to replace poles, expect to be without power for three days.
