Well, we got the furnace hooked in to the generator. Managed to not blow ourselves up in the process.
Power company has restored service to more than half my town. Unfortunately, I'm not in that group. From what I've been able to determine, they have restored enough to drop the town down on the priority list. Plus, two nights ago, they tried to bring power back and blew another couple transformers. By my guess, that means that we have been put at the bottom of the list for parts. According to current estimates, it could be another 10 days.
On the other hand, I am grateful that I am in a position to be complaining about lack of power. One of my friends had water fill the basement up to the first floor. She has to now rip out the electrical system and rewire the place. Her area still does not have any power or natural gas service back yet.
