Is this due to the hurry cane or some kind of liberal mismanagement?

It's liberating when mother nature takes away your power, and you can drag out the generator and give her a big middle finger. Of course, a power outage of several weeks kind of sucks. Hope you get your power back quick, OP!

Dominion mismanagement...….going to cook breakfast on the grill.
Power maybe tomorrow between 6-11pm When the number out is low per area, they should go by 1st called in....they are not !@#$%&()+ Feel bad for my elderly neighbors, but his generator is working and he needs nothing right now...……...his son-in-law works for Dominion! They have made calls but it don't matter Oh well, more debris clean up and gun cleaning |

There is an organized way to restore power. 1.All hospitals and EMS facilities. 2. Large scale customers and large populated blocks. 3. Everyone else.
You want to make sure of reliability ? See how far the closest hospital is and see if you are on the same feeder. |

Once the must haves get back on line, you focus on getting the biggest bang for your buck, in other words, what can we do to get the most people back on line first? If a transmission line is down, causing outages for hundreds or thousands, you fix that, then work on restoring smaller blocks of users, and finally, you work on fixing individual drops, where it's one home or business without power. |

It can be anywhere from 34° to -7°. At those temps, the house cools down really quickly. Ya, we can throw everything in the refrigerator outside to preserve it, but why bother when you have a Genny ? I have a boiler and a forced air furnace for two different zones in the ranch, No TV ? My wife gets really mean.... No internet ? I get really mean. Generators and a pile of gasoline = survival . |
