Taking another look

As I type, a couple of guys from PNM in Albuquerque are parked out front and are walking the street looking for stray outages and uncleared trees that might contribute to same. (They've brought the big truck, just in case.) The total number of folks in the dark hasn't declined as quickly as we'd like, perhaps, but there's a lot to be said for the knowledge that someone is looking after us.

Last I heard, OG&E was down below the 70,000 mark, meaning that three-quarters of the outages have been restored. Unfortunately, it also means that a quarter of them haven't. At least the weather is less sucky.
