I never lost power... part of the 10% here on long island. My GF's parents still don't have power. All in all, I can't complain at all. I got a week long "Hurrication" out of it. I went to a wedding in Newport this weekend, and I was sure to get diesel before I got back on the ferry to LI!! The gas lines are rediculous. It would literally be quicker to take the ferry to CT, gas up, and come home than wait in some of the lines. It would cost a hundred bucks... but hey
I am good for 2 weeks of commuting on one tank, so I should be ok till the lines ease up.
My manager never lost power, then wednesday some chuckle head cut down a tree in his yard down the street and hit a transformer! I've heard other stories of fights in gas lines, or people trying to cut other people off, then hitting a pole and killing power. I also almost got flattened by a tree truck when I stopped for a dark stop ligt (state law, treat it like a 4 way stop!) and the truck had NO plans of stopping. But like I said, tough to complain when so many people lost so much...
On I95 on the way to RI we saw at least 100 tree and line trucks headed south, it was a heart warming sight!
