Still worth it.

Okay, but is it on fire though?

BGE is a private company, the city doesn't really have any control here. Trimming trees ahead of time, maybe, but when they're near power lines that also falls to BGE as preventative maintenance.

And I do think BGE could have been more proactive. I grew up in an area that got hit with hurricanes, the power company was out trimming dead trees and branches every spring.

Yeah my biggest worry, and a big reason I stayed home, was the pipes. I have steam radiators so I wasn't so worried about those... I found out that the igniter on my gas boiler won't let me manually ignite the pilot though.

Same! Hopefully it stays that way, but I'm recharging everything just in case.

Power just came back, but for future reference are they cool with pets? I was thinking about that for me and my dog today, of the power didn't come back.
