Northern VT here - wind just started picking up a little in the last half hour. Southern VT has 11,000 power outages so far. Expecting that number to rise as it moves up the state. FX that doesnt happen here, but we're prepped in case.

Re: Millions of customers without power on East Coast right now
Is there a reason why Texas is showing so many outages right now? Were they hit too?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76401821


I wondered the exact same thing! Texas popped up out of nowhere on the map.

my guess is unrelated - it is around 16,000 customers.




as things improve to the south, New England states with the exception so far of Maine are being affected.

New York State only has about 13,000 without power. It is colored yellow on the map and does not make the list of states with the most outages.

Re: Millions of customers without power on East Coast right now
I lost power around 11am est. apparently my power company is saying an estimated restoration of Saturday!!!! Good thing I have the generator fired up but it’s not powerful enough to run my hvac. That was a hell of a storm and over performed on every level.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48524260


Wow Saturday!!?
11am power went out here too but my town is lucky. Power is estimated for 7:30AM.

We shall see if that happens. Trees down everywhere but the storm didn't last long and then the sun came out.

I'm just glad it's cool in the evenings this week...

Lucky! I’m in bucks county with over 300,000 customers without power.

And yes I couldn’t agree more with the weather! This is first day below 90 and it looks like tomorrow will be fairly nice with low humidity. Thank heavens.

I'm one of them. 3 people on my street, one small branch hanging on the line...power off 9 1/2 hours.

I think I could shoot it off with a 22...

My food is probably trashed but only a few big limbs fell and not on my cars

Suffolk NY looks like close to 200000 here. I never lost power but most people I know did.

My yard looks like a disaster. Major limbs down all over the yard. My garden is completely torn up and it was bloced by solid fence from the south

Re: Millions of customers without power on East Coast right now
looks rough with 3.5M outages in northeast - just imagine the effect of 20-50 times those outages even for a few days. (and the media's warnings of EMP attacks)

in my area, locust trees are a nuisance - one a couple of weeks ago snapped and missed my house roof and a shed by inches only pulling the electric service lines which were restored within only an hour and half.

Here's some historic US power outages

adding up the top coastal states" totals.

Delaware has many thousands out additionally



UPDATE:


taking the top five state totals out, you now have 2.5 million.

adding in the smaller states, it is going even higher.....


nother update:

it is now over 3 million customers, which is probably at least double that number in terms of people, without power.

the website given is NOT updating totals on the clickable map itself.

The totals at bottom right are updating, as is each state's total on the page each state has.

This will be a long night for many people.


last update:

States to the south are seeing their numbers improve as electricity is restored; states in New England are losing power.

This is the Hallmark of "serious guerrilla warfare" my friends.
Maybe someone will call it different, for whatever purpose?? But
I would have as many of our troops back here soon as possible to back-up LE Angency's on various levels.

Same goes " general warning to public", if you find box, bag, or tool chest sitting on hood of car, in front of door to home, work, or suspicious place? DO NOT TOUCH or Move. Secure area, have someone phone 911 to explain situation! Be Aware of YOUR
SURROUNDINGS for unusual changes. Suspicious persons, those GUT
FEELINGS Something is NOT RIGHT has saved many of us in various
situations That Have DEVELOPED Rapidly.

I'd suggest you folks learn how ANARCHIST / PAID MERCENARIES actually Operate in Creating INTERNAL STRIFE as we have entered

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48524260

HVAC takes little power to run, not even one-quarter of what a water heater draws, only drawing max current when it starts.

I suggest shutting off your water heater and allowing the HVAC to run, then when the house is more comfy shut off the HVAC and re-energize the water heater for a few hours then switch back to HVAC.

I ran my home for three weeks on a generator that could not simultaneously power HVAC, well pump, and water heater. I simply shut off the well pump and water heater unless needed.
Until your military service has required you neutralize enemy combatants and invaders in the defense of your country,
don't presume to tell us that have defended you that you don't support every shot we fired to eliminate that enemy.
