This is not just the local guys too, there are utility companies here from around the country. They have to learn all that is going on, where to go, etc etc and I can only humble myself in knowing how far they are from home to help bring some normality to my life. I really think people need to step back and appreciate it all. I still don't have power where I currently rent and I have no problem waiting for it.
