Anybody else along the east coast get hit wih power outages from Tue evenings nasty front that moved through ?

Our power went out 1940 hrs on Tue , just came back on @0700 this AM.

I've been on generator duty the past 36 hours in order to keep both refregirators up and running.

I was out for 30 hours. My neighbors behind us for 4 days. The guy I sit next to at work has been out since Friday.

yes, lucky we were home or all would have been lost in the 'frig' !

A lesson I learned (the hard way) years ago, when widespread power outages occur, unplug or throw breakers for your major appliances that have high voltage / current demand upon start-up. Power surges, up and down, when the power comes back can wreck havock on fridges, AC's, well pumps,etc.
