No power.

Well, I obviously have power here . . .

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Whoa, that's a super cool job...I hope he stays safe during your next power outage! (Or rather, I hope you don't have any more power outages!) :hug:

Yay! My dad works for Niargra Mohawk, a power company. So he's was really busy with all the outages here.

My power never actually went out, but a friend of mine that lives in the same city said his went out for 36hrs.!

We also had incredibly high winds, though I don't remember how bad!

Yeah, sometimes power outages can be fun for a little bit, but did anyone get hit by that ice storm a few years back. Power was out for like a week or whatever. Yeah, that was bad.

Not good - I hope that it works soon! :( My internet at school cuts out randomly sometimes, and it's really annoying, so I know how you feel!

It's crazy. And we're about 40 miles away at a friend's house for the night. They have power thankfully.

So ya, power outages. Not cool.

You sent those winds down here............along with tons of rain and lightening. At 18 mins we have now had power longer than any other time since 2 AM (it's now about 9:30 PM)

Peace Out
