Brother-in-law is in Wash DC and has been told up to 7 days before his power is restored. We lost power here momentarily, but 4 hours AFTER the storm, Comcast went down for almost a day. That's still better than the data center at work where, after losing the primary A/C last week, it is now cooled with 5 portable A/C units -- each the size of a double door refrigerator. Then they lost power and realized only two of them were wired to the generator. Talk about people scurrying around trying to figure out how to run three additional 60A 240V curcuits. Just getting over to the data center to power down non-essential equipment took forever since half the stop lights are out and drivers are too dumb, too young, or too impatient to remember how 4-way stop signs work.
