My power has not been interrupted at all, and I'm relieved, but at a loss to understand why. The only thing I could figure was that our state Representative, Charlie Geren, has his residence one block over and up from me and that they were keeping this section of the grid on. Then my daughter then told me that she read that they were keeping power to all essential services. My house is two blocks down from a fire station, so I'm betting that's why. Makes more sense.
Hope I don't jinx myself, but I'm sure grateful things are still on here.
