Still evaluating here, too. There is a wire down. There has been an Eversource pickup truck parked next to the down wire for 11 hours. And that’s it.
Doesn’t seem super efficient to me but what do I know…

The truck is almost certainly staffed by some bored HR manager who has been commandeered to guard the live wire so that some idiot doesn't step on it or drive over it before a crew can deenergize it. I used to work for an electric utility: Anyone capable of fogging a mirror could get pulled for downed-wire duty during a storm.
