Still no power. No point calling hydro cuz they just lie and tell you what you want to hear. No power in my tank and I'm heading out for a 4 day fishing trip right now. Just have to trust my kid sister to take care of things. Such an uneasy feeling. Hoping for the best

Getting texts from members reporting losses in their tanks. This is going to end badly. Power has been out for 27 hours now in poco.

People need back up plans power outages are gonna happen eventually,I own a small generator for this exact reason still never used it but sure feel more comfortable when we are having crazy weather like yesterday. Hope everybody gets power back soon.

This is a lesson learned. Thank God I picked up a generator a few months back which has been running non stop since the outage.
