I was out of power from Sunday 1 am to Friday 530pm....so 6 days.

I never knew it would take 6 days, at first I thought it was an overnight thing and after 2-3 days I gave up hope, because everyday was "maybe tomorrow".

Other people told me they were out of power 2-3 days, and some even said they never lost power at all.

You?

About 25 seconds total, kinda felt guilty as for a while my block was the only one in the area with power. 4 houses on the corner lost power around 7 am sunday and did not get it back till saturday at 7:30pm, same goes for the houses behind me. That's a long time.

I have a automatic start generator, it never got to run once.

Never lost power but I had a really bad hangover that day. We took in people for 4 nights too.

As payback, I lost power for 6 days on that wind storm of March 2010.
