But the power was out a few blocks away for a couple days, shutting off street lights and closing our local supermarket.

without power on Tuesday.

Due to medical needs we have a whole house generator. If you can afford one, it is a great addition to our home and eliminates a lot of worry.

quickly compared to a lot of households in my county. JCP&L doesn't expect complete restoration until the 11th. Since Tuesday, it's gone out a few times for a few minutes, including the middle of last night.

I posted a thread on the effects of the storm in this area, several thousand were out in Saratoga, Warren and Washington Counties here in Northeastern New York. And I recently had an exchange with a DUer on Long Island who doesn't expect the power to be restored until Sunday.

Updated: Tropical storm hits region; power outages reported
