Eversource is still telling us that its “to be determined”. There’s no update at all of when things will be resolved

same here and we're going on 15 hours. They're still evaluating. I can evaluate for them. There's a tree leaning on the wires. Cut it down and turn on the power. Minimal damage if any. Real simple. Probably take them an hour.

Still evaluating here, too. There is a wire down. There has been an Eversource pickup truck parked next to the down wire for 11 hours. And that’s it.

Doesn’t seem super efficient to me but what do I know…

The truck is almost certainly staffed by some bored HR manager who has been commandeered to guard the live wire so that some idiot doesn't step on it or drive over it before a crew can deenergize it. I used to work for an electric utility: Anyone capable of fogging a mirror could get pulled for downed-wire duty during a storm.

Same. They're still "evaluating" after 15 hours. The outage was caused by a small fallen tree that's leaning on wires. There are no downed wires. I can see it from my house. Since only 8 of us in the immediate area are out of power, we are not a priority. ☹️
