lost power for 18hrs! thk goodness we have a heavy duty generator 220v on 7gal of gas for 8hrs. we were 1 of 4 homes out 100 in our neighborhood beaming with light & heat. but still have friends w/o power till maybe tomorrow.

97% of orange county & 70% of duchesss county ny went black!

cudos to central hudson valley utilities for doing the best they can & quickly!

glad to hear you have a generator.. glad everything turned out okay...i read in my paper today.. that a family had to be rescued.. they had to leave their 4 parrots and dogs... so sad..

so far had not heard of any tragedies but many suffering hardships. my colleague pregnant due any day still working, their road not plowed, her sister's car slammed by falling tree, 1 1/2 yr old scared of dark, no power no heat/electric stove, has to walk 150m just to get to her car! now that is hardship but many more suffer worst. pray they all get thru w/o incidents.
