The Night the Lights Went Out in Hudsonville

The power in my neighborhood went out last night about 10:15--right in the middle of the debate. It is still off this morning. This is the notice on-line for when service will be restored:


Hard to read, but yes it really does say 10/07/08 5:57 a.m.

I got up with the plan of manually opening the garage door to go get ready for work at Renae's, but I couldn't get the door open. I went back inside and got ready (thankfully I still have water when the power is out) by the light of a wind-up flashlight. Renae came about 7:30 and got the garage door open.



EDIT at 3:55 p.m.
The latest report estimates the repair at 8:18 p.m.
