Hi Pat--
My hydro went out around 4:10 yesterday, came back on in the small hours this morning, went out again about 12:30pm today. At the moment I'm in my parents' place less than a mile to the west; they still had hydro today except for a brief outage around 3:00 or so. Evidently they're bringing the grid back piecemeal and what we're getting is a series of LA-style "rolling blackouts"...makes planning anything a bit confounding! Certainly points up how reliant we are on electricity...
