Could you find an article about that. I looked on the net and didn't see anything. And having just getting my power back, I haven't see the news yet, and the radio never mentioned it. Only guys being arrested for stealing power cables for scrap.
I cannot blame people for being upset (not to the point of crews needing protection). I lost power power Sunday morning, before storm really hit, and it took almost 5 days to get power back. And it wasn't even a hurricane. We had a small tree top that was on top of the lines. I watched a tree crew (power company's hire out tree crews) go under it 4 times in the past 3 days, plus 2 power company trucks.

My fear is what happens if a real hurricane hits, like Gloria did 25 years ago? We lost power then for 5 days and it was hurricane, now i losing it it for that long, on a tropical storm.
And yes, I had a generator running around the clock for my sump pump. And having the highest gas prices in the country (I am paying $3.85 gal), it cost me $140 for gassing the generator. which also leads to frustration and anger.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
