Reply to comment by Redman5012 in Factbox: About 1.2 million without power in United States from winter storms by Smithy2232
I live in Maine, and when I moved here, I had in my mind the terrible ice storm that took out the power for a week and a half back in the 1990s. Maine is beautiful, but neither the individual towns nor the power companies take responsibility for taking down trees and branches closest to power lines. I bought an emergency generator. I paid for it by not going to the Oxford casino and by not smoking and by not buying liquor. Maine is beautiful, but they’ve lost their minds when it comes to liquor. You can get liquor at every gas station, every convenience store, every pharmacy and every supermarket. You can afford to gamble, smoke cigarettes, drink liquor but you can’t afford to buy an emergency generator?
