[Tarrytown SS427s]

I went to Maine last Friday on rt 7 through Troy over to rt 9 and rt 101 through southern VT and NH. Troy had no power and therefore no traffic lights which was a real mess! further east was ever more of a mess, it looked like a bomb went off, with trees draped over the roads and lines down everywhere. Coming home last night on 87 I passed 4 fleets of electrical service vehicles. A state of emergency was declared and they have crews coming in from as far away as Ohio. Power isn't expected to be back to everybody in NH until Thursday or Friday. It really goes to show how brittle our power systems can be, as it doesn't take much to cause big problems!
