Reply to comment by zedemer in Factbox: About 1.2 million without power in United States from winter storms by Smithy2232

We're approaching 24 hours of no power here. The most annoying thing is that it was flickering off and on for like 5 minutes a few hours ago.

Sorry to hear that. Friendly reminder: turn off most breakers until power comes back. This way you avoid having electronics break due to power surges. Keep one breaker for something basic like lights.

Well it came back on less than 2 minutes ago, let's hope it stays on. This place is prone to power outages and that's never happened in 40 years
