Saturday night into Sunday we had a fairly long power outage. The power went out at 7 PM and didn’t come back on until 5 AM the next day. It was strange looking out the window onto the little town of Eldred and seeing absolutely no lights. We’re a very small town but we do have a traffic light and 3 street lights! 
Aside from the inconvenience of being without heat and lights it was pretty neat. The power outage was almost a flash back in time, this is how people lived 100 years ago. It was kind of fun trying to get used to reading by the flicker of candle light when in this day and age we’re used to back lit LCD screens.
From reading the news reports many customers were out of electicity for more than a day some for almost 3 days. Kudo’s to NYSEG who always seems to be on the ball, even out here in our little town.
