Still no power - story

Are the power lines that feed your street by the road, or are they behind your houses? Are a lot of the lines on your street torn down, or only in a few places? I'm asking these questions to try and understand what the situation may be. I work for a power company, and we have sent almost 3000 of our workers and contractors to the northeast to work. I can't imagine what kind of part would be needed that would take so long to acquire, unless it's some sort of step down or step up transformer that is used at the beginning of the line feeding your street? Did your line that runs from the pole to the side of your house get torn down? If it did, was the meter box ripped off the wall? If you see any LIPA trucks nearby, go talk to someone and ask if they can look at your street and see if they can give you an idea of when it may be fixed. More than likely, the linemen out there working are just working where their management and dispatchers are sending them. Chances are, a lot of them are young Dads also...so having your little man with you if you get to talk to them will pull a heart string! :wink: Best of luck, and hang in there. I'll check back later.
