Maybe talk to the owner of the home if possible not the real estate agent. He accepted your offer, he's not selling the house to someone else with the downed wire and all. Ask him to rent it to you till the closing. Maybe you move in with no power maybe you wait a month to close. Then you move once and when you need to. Last I saw HELCO was claiming only 1200 without power so it probably gets done soon anyhow. They just won't tell you when or act like they care about you more than anyone else. Cause they don't, and they don't want Joe Blow down the street hearing that you called and they came and fixed you up cause your closing on your house, and he's been calling that number and they aren't fixing his. Good luck, Things like this seem to work themselves out so keep that good attitude, look outside the box for solutions. Then remember in the words of the great Tom Petty( Sure as night will turn to day- Most things I worry about never happen anyway)
