Can’t worry about losing power of it’s already out, I guess. insert meme template here
Maybe take some of your windfall and pay someone to trim trees later this year. (I know they lurk)

Pretty sure Eversource employees don't creep on Reddit threads...

Stop being poor and get a standy generator

Windham. Been out since 2. Restoration estimate is 8pm

That sucks, hopefully you get it back sooner than that. Last week they restored mine a little sooner than estimated after both times that it went out.

At least there's no snow and ice today to bog repairs down. ::fingers crossed for everyone who is out::

This is a very popular website, it's not unlikely. Not everyone visits their state subreddit though.

Do what I did. Buy a $10,000 standby generator and then they will cut back the trees and you'll seldom lose power again. I moved to NH in 2005 and went through a one week power outage and multiple other lengthy outages. Since installing the generator I haven't lost power for more than 6 hours. Murphy's law.

Where are you located? I surprisingly haven't lost power yet but I've been checking the outage map on the Eversource website and things don't seem too bad. Any outages seem to have relatively short estimated restoration times too.
Agreeg though, they need to cut trees back.
