Be happy you only have no power versus having a tree on top of your house or cat like others had happen last night.

Four large trees down, big dent in quarter panel of car when large fence gate let go, busted up umbrella and patio table and several days of cleanup and large trees, 75 footers to cut up.Yuk! Cat is OK though! Neighbors very large tree took the pool heater and filter out. Other neighbor lost 9 solar panels. 75 mph winds? I think much more!

@ Karen Ann. Campbell: While being without power is a major nuisance, be grateful you DID come home from vacation, unlike the woman in Monmouth county who was struck by lightning while fleeing the beach. She never regained consciousness and died several hours later.

It took the crew 1 minutes to turn power back on at the end of my block, after we waited over 24 hours without electricity (and AC).

People spend money on vacations, nice cars in their driveways, tv's and computers and cell phones, but people won't BUY a generator for times like this ?
