I have a lot of fans Gramma..And you know it- People love me

It's 9:00 pm... and hour or so to go... pay close attention... this is what the Zombie Apocalypse is going to be like.

Say Goodnight Gracie.

Goodnight Gracie.

Really? You think this little tiny outage will be anything like the Zombie Apocalypse?

In the olden days we have power outages for days/weeks and we didn't get any notice. One minute you had service and then you didn't.

Here's to all the local parties when freezers are cleaned out unless you know how to make jerky.

Click at the top of the left hand column the red blinking "Outage Report"

Do you see IREA man mentioned anywhere on this forum (except for your comment)? And I don't suspect that everyone is checking IREA website every few hours just to make sure that the electricity is not going out for 5 or more hours.

Maybe you need to pay a little more careful attention to the thread before you shoot your mouth off?

Nurse Ratched...check this patient for humility deficiency. And remember, if he won't take his meds orally, please arrange to have him take them "the other way..."

it is incumbent upon the utility provider to notify customers of planned outages, even if the lead time is short. They must notify customers directly, not through the use of the media, or individuals posting on websites. the use of outbound media (such as the news) should be used to supplement the direct notification. the use of inbound media as an information (not notification) methodology is prudent.

They should have called. They could have robo called. to be fair, not sure yet if i got an email or not

bad form on IREA

It is utter crap if they say they cannot. If you go to their website they have a place to sign up for legislative alerts to your email. if they can throw politics, they can throw the customer a notification bone.

Zombies are overrunning my neighborhood! Oh wait, they are just Leafers.

zombie sloths on Shadow Mountain,.... Very slow but they are progressing
