So, a couple of days ago, this crazy storm rolled through our region and knocked out power to over 200K people. We have personally been without power since late Sunday, and the temps in this area being in the 90's every day have really made everyone either hide in the basement or head out to restaurants and coffee bars to enjoy what little AC they can provide.

We just got our generator hooked up, so now I can get online (FiOS). Anyone else stuck in here?
