NH still has about 65000 households without power.

There were people in this forum calling folks in the Northeast crybabies, yesterday.

Yeah, power outages are no big deal unless you need electricity to pump your water and you can’t afford a generator.

> supposedly crews from Canada are supposed to roll into north
> central CT late tonight.

Notice that these line crews are not coming from the USGov, neither are they coming from the States. Same thing happens when the Northeast US has major power outages due to ice storms. We get WAY more help from Canada than we do from any of the States or the FedGov. And we pay for it through our electric bills, so we don’t burden anybody else with our troubles.

But we’re not complaining. Just saying that we’ll still be ready to lend a hand like we always do, without minimizing what people are going through because we think we’re tougher than they are.

Yesterday I passed 5 convoys of power line repair trucks and crews on I-95 North in NC and Va coming from Florida. They went right past Richmond which currently has extensive outages. Perhaps they are going to NJ or NY and leaving the work further north to the Canadians.
