It seems like the entire neighborhood is abuzz with the sound of generators. I can’t hear the cricket chirping noise now. Neighbors that are 500+ feet away are making more noise that the Honda 8 feet from me. It’s pretty bad when you can’t hear your own generator run. We ran the Honda from 6:45 AM until 5:45 PM, or 11 hours this afternoon on almost a tank of gas. A few more loads have joined the party.
The power company reports that a tad less than 60% of their customers are without power 36 hours after the storm passed. In that 36 hours they have reduced the outages by about 10%. If that rate continues then it will take 2 weeks to restore power. The odd thing is that the simple stuff generally comes up quickly. Geez, what a mess.
My antenna is back up and my FT817 is on the air again.
