Our outage is very local (power is on in town) - we are 4 miles out a country road, and they’ve been “upgrading” the wiring for the last few weeks. There must be a local line break along the road.

Thanks for the good wishes

A lot of internet hobos at the various free wireless places like Starbucks today, all with laptops, pads and such tap, tap tapping away.

Still no power at home, but where I live we lose power a few times a year, and at least one multi-day outage a year. It’s the fault of the bucolic-ness of my county. The trees are to blame. They get old and having no retirement home to wander off to, they stand there throwing off dead limbs and falling over onto live power lines. Bad trees!

I learned there was a “line-tornado” (a micro burst) in the development just a quarter mile NW that took out two mature oaks and one of them in the throes of death agony ripped off someone’s roof.
