We had a big snow storm a few days ago and our entire state has trees down and taking out power lines everywhere.

Our entire street is back online, but the lines going to our house were ripped off the pole and torn from our house. They have been working 3 day straight going street to street and each house that has individual problems to bring them online. They said it might not be until tomorrow until everyone is online.

Once my electricity is online, I can call the cable company to get them to come out. Since it is Comcast, it might be a month before they get it fixed.

Can see the cable on the right is our electrical coming from the poles. The first night when it happened we were stuck in the house as the wire was live. All through the night, we were seeing the entire sky flashing sea green/yellow colors as transformers everywhere blew out. The flashes were as bright as if our front yard got struck by lightning.

Branches like this are all over the place.

As our food rots in the fridge, we are using our energy efficient natural fridge.

We have a well which requires electricity for the pump and we currently have no water. We can't take a shower, drink, or flush the toilet. So I grabbed one of my son's lemonade as I sit here trying to do what little I can do off my cell phone's hotspot and my computer hooked to the generator. (the only thing outside of our furnace) that has power.

Luckily a friend of ours came by yesterday and let us borrow a generator and hard-wired our heating system into it so our pipes won't freeze.
