Message: [QUOTE="Yardigan, post: 4037066, member: 8851"] Lost power Sunday morning around 11am...restored today around 11... So weird...windy and rainy for a couple hours...then, decent weather. I grilled outside Sunday, no problem. Followed by great weather the next couple days...not sure what took so long... The buildup was huge, the damage was medium large, and the after weather was perfect. Restoration game needs to be stepped up. My thoughts are that here in RI, crews were programmed "we start Monday." Repeat PSA: Take half the out of state crews you hire for these storms...and Knock. Down. Some. Freekn. Trees. Good grief. some of the pics you see from around here are like..."wow, never ever would've thought that massive dead tree would fall on those power lines right below it." ftp...... ETA: Just noted the 'new gas can' references. I have a gas powered generator (that ran like a freekn champ for 48 hours) and I finally took the nozzle off and poured without it. A word about the generator though... We used to have a propane one that covered about half the house...but it needed to be replaced at a higher cost than a new one. We also have a gas powered one that I bought at Cabella's in East Hartford after the 'storm that cancelled Halloween in South Windsor." Been using that one and that thing has been absolutely amazing...runs for about 12 hours on a tank of gas, which seems to be about 2.5 - 3 gallons. Powered the fridge (to me, the absolute biggest WTF situation in non-electric times) and a couple fans.... We were just lucky it didn't get scorchin' hot... [/QUOTE]
