[quote:Anonymous Coward 899040:MV8xOTEzMTY1XzMyMDAzNDQzXzI2NzdGRkY0] Last October we had a snowstorm here in the Poconos. Power was out for over a week for some people. We had no power for 4 days but fortunately I have partial solar in my home. Ironically the power was out but the cable was still on, so I had internet, some lights and working outlets to charge stuff. At night the battery bank would start to run low so we only used power for the fridge and a couple of lights and used the fireplace for heat in the familyroom where we bunked. I live on a lake out in the woods so we were low on the list to get restored. What they did is restore the power to higher population areas first...then moved out to the lesser populated areas. The gas stations will soon be up as will the cell towers. Some have plain battery some have solar battery back up. But from what I'm hearing there are over 2 million people in the mid-atlantic area with no power so it could be a few days before stuff gets back to normal. [/quote]
