It was on at 4PM, well in advance of their 11PM estimate. So I'm happy, I didn't lose anything in the freezer. It didn't go off during the storm, it was during the morning rush so I assume someone took out a pole(s) in a spectacular manner.
But yeah, it was kind of a fierce storm there for a while, which I don't mind.
Here's the thing about the power going off - when AEP got smacked for not maintaining lines some years back, and had to go around and trim and maintain - we didn't have an outage for about 3 years. Then it started up again, surprise.
