No Electric For Anna *UPDATE: My Pioneer Woman Tale by Anna_66 (post #27)

We'll be thinking of her! We lost power for a few minutes last night but get this - it was a planned event, AND we were forewarned by mail more than a week ago! The power company was planning some maintenance, and let us know. I thought that was great.

Stay warm, Anna! I can't imagine being in that kind of weather. Hope you're back soon. Cuddle up with those dogs.

I got a call from Anna a little after 8. Her electric is on now. Yippee!

That's great Anna got her power back! Many people lost their power here due to the ice, we were fortunate and our lights only flickered a few times. I was sent home at lunchtime. They closed the plant down due to power shortage.

Phred has quite a power-outage story in his birfday thread! 30 hours, no power. But Smoke got to be the hot water bottle under the covers, and Cinder was the foot-warmer!

Glad you got lights and stuff again, Anna!

The next county East of me, Ashtaubla County Ohio is under a state of emergency still this morning. More than 10,000 people are sill without power.

Glad your lights are back on Anna!
Is Phred's power back on yet?? (he's a few counties South of me)

I just talked to Anna and she still has no power. The power guys got it back on for a brief period and then she said her and Mark heard a loud noise and out went the electric. She has been without electric for 37 hours now. They are keeping warm with a kerosene heater. Because they have no electric that means they have no running water so that is another problem. They have a well and they need that power to pump the water into the house

Keep sending some postive vibes her way in hopes that her electric is fully restored here real soon!
