That is really great news to hear. Now, we'll just keep our fingers crossed for the thousands of people in the tri-state region still without power.
The other night, there was a public meeting/press conference in Levittown, Long Island (SC's territory) where LIPA didn't even bother to show, but sent an executive toady from National Grid (the utility company that's in charge of maintaining LIPA's power grids), who was evasive and did what I call "the weasel dance" and ducked the WABC reporter's questions about "who is responsible." Unbelievable - but, all too believable.
The people are fed up with empty promises, and feel they've been given the runaround and have, at times, been just plain ignored. It's time for our Governor Cuomo to grow a pair, and deal with the LIPA executives and the others whose heads should roll for this embarassment. At least, that's my opinion.
At least there are no major storms forecast for the immediate future.

As much as I've cursed JCP&L (Jersey Central Power & Light) the past 10 days, they've finally gotten their outages down to a reasonable level at this point [ map]. 8 days out, total, for me -- but many more days for others, and I feel sorry for them, because it's really, really, bad when it gets cold out! So bad that it's surreal when power comes back on! On the bright side, I finally got to read the 600-page STEVE JOBS book that I otherwise would never have gotten to. Mostly by flashlight.

Oh yeah, fuck the poor people without power, we want the overtime.
