    That is just crazy. Where are you located again? I think the longest
    I've been without power at home was just over 24 hours after a bad ice
    storm took down a lot of lines.

    West coast of Ireland. They had to source electrical pole persons from Austria, France, Germany and the UK. And this may not be the worst storm yet, although on record it was for now.

    I had seen a short clip on the news you were getting hammered pretty bad.

    Hope you are able to recover quickly!

    We were out 3 days once. I ran my refrigerator off of my Prius, once
    every 4 hours, cooked with gas, swapped the power from the fridge to our tankless heater for showers, and I took the BBS (which was running on a
    laptop) to starbucks for mail runs - crashed my uplinks, then crashed my downlinks, then crashed my uplinks again all for the price of a latte!)
