Storm Update...Still about 250,000 Customers without Power

This is what I have heard on a couple of radio stations. Power has been restored to about half of those who lost power last week. Not surprisingly, ice is a difficult commodity to come by in many places, and generators disappeared from store shelves quickly.

Today after Mass, I headed to the office since our power was restored late last night. I had to start and test servers and computers, remove several hunderd feet of extension cords from 2 days of backup generator power, and so forth...What was really nice was the A/C after spending late last week in the less than optimal conditions and with no A/c, it was a welcomed relief, especially in the computer room which was running at over 90 degrees...Saturday, I fixed the carburetor on my generator so it could be used at the office on Monday, if it came to that. Thankfully, it won't be needed. Please keep in your prayers all those who are still in the dark, suffering from the heat, and loss of food. Many, especially the poor, have probably lost quite a bit in spoiled food.
