Ironically, my Uncle Barrett and Aunt Sybil, who live in a relatively nice subdivision with power lines UNDERGROUND, were without electricity for nearly 2½ days, while we, who live in the "boonies"(semi-rural area) with power lines ABOVE ground, experienced no power outage whatsoever. The DSL died for about 20 minutes yesterday afternoon however, but was back up to speed shortly after that.
Since we live in "The Twilight Zone", our power will probably go out the next nice, clear, sunny day we have! At least that's the way it is most of the time here!
