Witnessed first-hand
While driving east on Rt 11 through Alton last night I first noticed the power outage while driving through the town square area. I was on a trip to Dover and the outage continued along Rt. 11 until I got to Lilac City Pediatrics (just north of Wal-Mart) in the northern part of Rochester. There are a couple of areas along that road that provide a pretty good view to the east and I didn't see any lights in those views.
Just north of Lilac City Pediatrics they had a traffic pattern shift with hundreds of orange cones, about 10 or 12 electrical trucks working, and a handful of cop cars. Interestingly enough, they weren't at any of the typically dangerous intersections which were without working traffic lights.
On sleeping with socks on: I heard somewhere that it's good to do that anyway.. it's supposed to help you sleep better by improving circulation.
