On a positive note - with all the extra HELCO crews working round the clock and the great job they are doing in a timely manner restoring power. I think most residents will have power again by mid next week.
We had an ice storm when we lived in Idaho back in 1994 that took power out for OVER 2 weeks mid-winter so no heat to keep warm but then did not have to worry about refrigeration just set our food outside in coolers.
We were renting at that time and it did not even cross our minds to contact the landlord. I guess we could have - but then at that time we were mountain folk and just dealt with like everyone else in the area had to - although it sucked
