I'm glad there are good men such as yourself. Who come to
the aid of their family.

My mother's place in CT went 7+ days without utility power.
I got up
there Tuesday evening, cleared the trees from the driveway
and got the
generator going. Spent the next couple days removing more
trees /
branches and patching two holes in the roof where big
branches hit.
About 10pm Sat evening a crew from MO was by and repaired
the damaged
drop (snapped neutral), and a few hours later they had
repaired enough
along the street to get power back on. All in all one of the
nastier CT
storms in my 41 years of experience, but there have been
similar in the
past so it's certainly not unprecedented.
