Good to see you are OK Nero. I know it's hard to live without power, the longest I've been without power was between 2 to 3 days. In our electricty contract there was a clause in it which I think said this "If you are left without any power for more than 72 Hours then we will pay you £30 per day compensation. Low and behold 2 hours short of this time, the lights came back on! On another note a class from my old high school have been and still are stuck in the Big Apple. They've been told they should be on a flight back home this thursday.
And my heart goes out to all you people suffering from this terrible storm.
