I can’t even access the power company’s website to report the outage or check restoration times. It’s probably overloaded with customers. Even the phone line isn’t picking up! And thanks to corona, none of the usual places you could go to charge your electronics (Starbucks, etc) are open. Sucks!
Hi wildflowerchild. We just got our electricity back about 10:20 pm, much sooner than expected. Thank goodness! Maybe we haven't yet lost many things in our fridge.

Do you have your electricity yet? If so, about what time? I need to check on my family living elsewhere that was also affected. They said there were tornadoes in Cape May area.

Our neighbor had a big tree fall, too. Right across their driveway and their neighbor's. I don't think any cars were affected. Trees down all over the place. It's so odd. I heard the storm, but it didn't sound as bad as it turned out to be. When I went out and saw the results, I was like... "What the heck happened here?!?!" Life on the east coast! At least it wasn't another Sandy!

I sleep through such hullabaloos all of the time, at night. At least it was during the day. My poor husband has to work tomorrow after all, I guess.

I have a video appointment with my psychiatrist tomorrow. Might be a phone call only.
