Still no power here for us yet. Lots of down trees and power lines on the roads around our house. In our subdivision, seems like every house has a huge tree down.
Hopefully we'll have power soon, because we're on a well, so no water yet either.

Yuk.
We still have no power though we do have water. We actually stayed in the city last night. Three days without power was enough. Besides, I know the water heater is cold now too and I wanted a hot shower this morning!

We are already under contract with an electrician for a generator to be installed, which should be done on Wednesday. Then we just need to wait for the propane people to get their permits and bring a second tank over. We have one now for our fireplace, but the electrician suggested a second tank for extended outages.
Once that gets installed, we'll be good to go for any further outages.
No Internet back yet, though. I'm so happy we switched to DirecTV a few weeks ago, because Comcast has widespread outages around us. I see their trucks driving around, but there are still trees on lines all over the place. Since we have power and phone (Verizon) I can only assume that the lines are the cable lines.

I checked Connecticut Light and Power's website. They said we got our service back at 4:40am this morning. Wife confirmed when she got home.

Great news for you guys...
I think that was the biggest issue for those down here after Hurricane Ike. People were without power for weeks. That and water. I think the power was off at my house for about 7 days. I evac'd, so I can only go by what my neighbors told me. They were telling those who evac'd to stay gone after the hurricane passed... lol
