Really surprised that no one has brought this up. They are telling us to expect up to two weeks without power... This is going to be a fun one to ride out.

impala, were you in the evacuation zone?

Still no power where we are at.

I called Comcast because our cable line was cut due to damage from the storm (it was knocked from its hanging area and was then hit by a passing truck). The guy did not understand me at all, telling me that no one in my area had cable. I replied, "I don't think you're listening, the cable line was cut!".
