Actually there were 650k AEP customers in Ohio out at peak. They have it down to 470k last I checked. I think something like 1.2M statewide. We're on a co-op but there is a LOT of damage, plus AEP owns and maintains the transmission tower(s) that collapsed.
We're just lucky we have friends in town to get water from every couple of days ... And enough land that we can, ahem, dig holes...
Back to conserving battery.

It'll be interesting to see what happens tomorrow, when people are set to return to work.
According to the news, there are still a lot of roads blocked and intersections dark because the power is still out.

I've only seen info for Arlington, and while they are making progress getting traffic lights back online there are still many that are not working. Last night on my way home (after 10 pm) I noticed they had put cones in several intersections to block you from going some ways. Originally Posted by Selkie

Wow. I have a friend (actually a former bf) who lives in Herndon. He's here in MA for a wedding and I wonder what he will face when returning home.
