Sadly people expect unreasonable things...


The line crews are working 16 hour shifts. One town selectman in CT
complained that crews are not working 24 hours.

It is truly amazing to listen to the people and how ignorant they are of how
the system works. They are accusing special treatment when the Woodstock
Fairgrounds got power back before houses in the area. Well, they are on the
main road so when the main line comes back, whatddayaknow, the lights go on.
Not so on the impassable roads. where trees are down taking lines with them.
.. So they complain


There may be a little legitimacy that tree trimming has been cut back and
was a contributing factor. I don't have any hared facts or evidence though.
