Day 4 - Still no power at home

[bigrock]

Luckily we stayed at Scott's sisters house last night.  We stopped in at the condo yesterday and the six fish in the fish tank are dead, so sad but they lasted longer than we ever expected

yikes!

Sorry to hear that the power is still out at your place.

I've heard tell that in some instances utilities don't know the extent of an outage because some folks figure that The company already knows about the issue and are working on it., so they don't make an individual complaint.

I hope that you've made an report to the power company for your place, so that they will have a more accurate count of the homes involved on your branch of the network.

Best of luck with restoration and please consider consulting someone about whether to turn off your water where it enters the condo to prevent water damage from burst pipes in the cold.

We are part of that 27%....

The condo development has a shared well, and without electricity the well doesn't pump. Saturday morning was the last time we flushed the toilets and there was no more water in the system to full them up, nor any water in the faucets. I think we will be ok in that regard.

that is a staggering thought no power in the cold, no water and having to go to a motel to get a warm nights sleep. Not being mean but here we are in OZ and its summer,we dont loose power in heat..I guess a different exp the cold.
