I feel for all of you in the Northeast. We had a major storm blow through Memphis a couple of weeks ago that took out most of the power company's infastructure. Electricity was down for 2 weeks in some areas. Ours was out for a week.
Biggest lesson I learned...no matter how well you think you've cleaned out your refrigerator, when the power comes back on, make sure you're wearing a hazmat suit w/ respirator when you open it again for the first time in a week.
Does anyone remember the episode of the old PBS series Connections where they discussed what would happen if technology failed us and used the 1977 New York blackout as an example?
