Any northeast folks still without power?

We have no power, cable/internet and barely any cel service. Generator is cranking, but it is wild how reliant we’ve become on the creature comforts of our media devices. This is the first time since Tuesday I’ve had one bar of cellular data at home. (Which of course I am using to immediately log in here.)

Just on our block we still have three downed trees being precariously held up by the power lines. Big oaks - probably 30” caliper on average. There are dozens of blocked roads in my neighborhood, and driving around requires numerous detours.

And of course my leaf blower died.
