Here in Detroit we've had water all along (but not safe for drinking), and our area just got power back at 2:30 AM this (saturday) morning. Mesaba Airlines (for whom I work as an A&P Mechanic) never let up, and kept a full flight schedule. I was in the air when the power went down, as I had gone to White Plains, New York to do a tire change on an Avro RJ. Our flight home departed at 3:59, and the power outage occured at 4:05. I was VERY lucky to get out of there, otherwise I would have had to spend the night! Jim
