The restoration of power was done at surprising speed, especially considering what had to be replaced. For a storm like that, the community spirit is really out there. A week off the grid wasn't comfortable but it wasn't that hard either. For a disaster response, the management has been very good and that is what the mayor's job is, to man the EOC until it's not a crisis anymore. It was also interesting to see the community centers become command post areas.
