Hoth Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Congrats to the EMATT crew. My cousin in Scituate has four large trees down at his house, two of which took down telephone poles. Sounds like it was a hell of a blow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Eversource companion told him it will be a week without power for some on the Cape. I have learned how it works. If they don’t have lots of out of state crews in place prior to the storm .. it is a looong , slow restoration. Once you start seeing all the trucks from the south and Midwest, things start happening and it comes back on in a timely fashion . Initially these first few days till they arrive , it will be larger , populated areas first . If you are a smaller town and/or rural .. plan on multiple days . E Mass folks have always wondered why CT and Eversource is so bad the last 10+ years. Now you’ll realize why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 just back from my parents house in Norwell. They live in the neighborhood that I grew up in so have memories dating back to early 1970's. Unbelievable - if they have power by next Tuesday I would be surprised. Power lines down the entire length of the street. According to neighbors, the entire town is like this. Parents are stuck in their house because of a tree falling from across the street into their driveway and power lines down running the the length of their yard along the street. I was there in the dark but it's impressive tree and grid damage. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst storm for here in quite some time. No way did 45 mph winds cause that amount of damage. ASOS underrepresent instantaneous gusts. Those wxflow stations are a godsend sampling the real winds. Those one second bursts are what drops trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the ‘08 Ice Storm I have only lost it a couple of times and those have been less than 15 hours each (one was a lightning strike, one was a squirrel) I guess I’m due? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 In the 22 years I’ve lived in this house, I don’t think I’ve lost power for more than an hour or two at a time. I think that’s mainly due to living less than a half mile from a sub-station. The propane generator with the auto switch would be a no brainer if I felt there was any threat of semi-regular power outages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisStraight Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I have an 8500 w genny but I went with a switch plate on my electrical box, a lot cheaper than one of those sub boxes plus I can run whatever I want, I've have the central air on running other stuff and never had a problem. Cost a lot less to do the switch plate, cost me $500 for the switch and have the electrician set up the plug outside and he made me a 15 foot cord. I had $1,000 plus quotes from other electricians to do it the other way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whineminster Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Cousin from Bourne is driving up here to pick up my generator lol.
