I was lucky. I never lost power, but I stayed up most of the night just in case. No electricity=no heat and my animals need steady heat.
My next door neighbours and everyone east of me had no power for over 24 hours. They are on a different part of the power grid. Many people will not have power until after Christmas. Trees are still coming down.

You can see how icy it is.

As fast as they fix downed power lines, trees break and bring down new power lines. The main roads are clear and most public transit is running.
I just talked to one of my seniors and she fell in the dark when the power went out. Her house was pretty cold. I am glad her near neighbours could help.
I sat and watched a movie with my Christmas bunny. I have been through blackouts. I am just glad that it was not me this time.
