Every user of our electric company is without power - earliest we
can be back on the grid is November 7. Our internet comes
through another power company which has 100,000 out and they
are saying 2 weeks.
Outages and trees on transformers from one end of our county and
parts of surrounding counties OUT
Roads closed all over, traffic lites not functioning, gas stations and
groveries CLOSED.
Verizon landlines not working at all
Cell is sporadic - we are driving to use cells ... at a friend with
power so can shower and get some water.
Finding a hotspot that works as cell towers and the major local
radio station are also down might be a problem
We got our client up and running. Took 5 minutes. UPS just had
to be turned out. Friend made us fresh hot coffee.
A neighbor will be loaning us his generator for 2 hours every other
day to keep our huge freezer frozen
We got the last inverter in the county - we can run a small
appliance from the car.
The dogs are outside by candlelight at night - they think we are
weird
We can get gas down here and the lines are incredibly long. We
need kerosene for our heater. None available in this area.
My brother was able to call me from LI, but all lines to NY are busy.
