If you are in the group of 30 people affected versus 3,000 you should expect a longer wait time.

You’re quite angry and defensive.

I don’t care if the power goes out or stays out.... I’m prepared with a generator for my home.

I’m just saying to get one so you don’t turn into a bitter person that complains about the power in a rural area during a storm.... if your wife is anything like you, it’s a good thing I never have to call.
