Compared to others & those still w/o power, out only 4 days, gets old real fast.

Know the feeling we lost ours for 4 days in 1998 during the Ice Storm.Problem then was the below freezing temps,and working for the utility with no way to get near home to restore sooner.Did not see the wife during that time for almost a month. Thankful for wood stove,city water,and super insulated home.The wife is a surviver made me very proud during all that.
