No power since 1030am. Estimate restore time 4pm tomorrow. Thankful for gas hot water and cooktop, ryobi fridges and the fire to keep us warm. Hopefully we wake up overnight with every light we've mistakenly turned on glowing.

That's nuts bro. I hope it comes back quicker than that!

That's fucked! I'm glad you have backups - warmth especially. Hope they restore power sooner. If not, then hope you at least get through the night and can get out during the day.

It came back on at 3am! Praise to the electricity gods!
