It's Not So "Pretty" Any More

It's Monday morning, and the biggest change since last night is all the ice has melted, and that thinnest of silver linings -- that it still looked kind of pretty out -- has melted away.

Yesterday afternoon, Unitil said about two-thirds of its 27,000 customers were without power. Mayor Lisa Wong said it was the goal to get half of those 17,000 without power hooked up by today. If we can, we'll update later. It's going to be some busy days ahead.

An important note: You might want to have your individual connection to power checked. Unitil made a point yesterday of saying their responsibility ends at the connection to your home. If there's a problem with the connection pipe at your house (mine seems to be leaning, I'm not sure if it was like before and I didn't notice or if that's a new issue), you need to take care of that. I don't know if you can have someone check it before Unitil gets your street back up, but there you go.

Anyway, keep on fighting. More later, one way or the other.
