A handful of flickers and then a 15-minute outage in Lisbon. Couldn’t get the generator started (fixed now). Was starting to panic. Looks like a few hundred homes without power still.

6300 approximately without power, per CMP on Twitter.

Update: Mine went out at 1238am until 5ish, so I ran the generator. Went out again at 0730, back up ten minutes later.

My heart goes out to them. My furnace went out and I'm freezing. I would not want to be frozen and in the dark. That's even more miserable. I hope they got their power back on by now.

I got my generator out yesterday and gassed it up and let it run for awhile. I still hope the power doesn't go out but I'm ready. Good luck to you.

We lost power around 6 and I had to get my generator out. Protip I guess, make sure its dug out before you need it. I had to chip away ice, rip off the frozen solid generator cover, try to plug it into the house, bend the nema plug, struggle for pliers to bend it back, flashlight went out, crawl in the dark holding my hand along the house to find the door, finally get the prongs bent and plugged in, get generator started, power back on.

Was rough. Gotta plan better next time. Thankfully we got power back about 4 hours later
