They can't put linemen up the power poles until gusts drop below 35MPH for safety. Once that happens, they will start working through the outage areas. Larger outage areas usually get tended to first. Ones that are out because of trees down on private property can take longer if access is an issue. There were over 50k customers without power at the height of the outages, so yeah, it's going to take some time. Glad you all are prepared. Sorry you'll lose the food, especially with how expensive groceries are as of late.

the stuff that got fixed early in the night was stuff they could do at the substation -- replacing transformers, etc. that blew out there.

If they can't put a guy up there due to safety, then I should be reimbursed for my time without power, since you know, I'm paying for service fees that actually exceed my usage.

That will never happen though. Fuck Duq light.
