Some most likely but never enough of them

My heart goes out to them. My furnace went out and I'm freezing. I would not want to be frozen and in the dark. That's even more miserable. I hope they got their power back on by now.

Just got power back on on Dallas Hill rd

We lost power around 6 and I had to get my generator out. Protip I guess, make sure its dug out before you need it. I had to chip away ice, rip off the frozen solid generator cover, try to plug it into the house, bend the nema plug, struggle for pliers to bend it back, flashlight went out, crawl in the dark holding my hand along the house to find the door, finally get the prongs bent and plugged in, get generator started, power back on.

Was rough. Gotta plan better next time. Thankfully we got power back about 4 hours later

Haven't heard anything new. I think everyone's in waiting mode. Or no news is good news? Hope your people are staying warm.

Try calling 211. My school sent an email out saying they have information about where warming shelters are. May not lead to anything but could be helpful.

The wind will often blow out our gas stove pilot light-hope power comes back soon🤞

Hope you’re staying warm!

many many many thanks

👍 If I hear anything else, I'll reply under your original post.

Oof. Tell them to stay awake. If that thing goes out and leaks gas...y'know.

thanks. Glad you are warm.

gas stove that is not reliable. It went out already but they got it back on.

Ok. So there's a tree down on Dallas Hill and they're saying it should be resolved quickly. I'd sit tight.

Don't panic yet.

Is there a wood stove in the unit? If there is, tell them to use it. If not, where would you send them? If the outage is widespread, they may open up the school as a warming station. Or maybe the lodge. I don't know how Saddleback handles things like this but Rangeley knows how to do cold weather and outages. Find local resources before sending them out into the cold.

Edit: word

Honestly, the best way to work a trade is start your own business within the industry.

If there’s no fireplace or stove you need to find someplace warm with power. It’s dangerous tonight.

As long as you can safely get somewhere I’d recommend going somewhere that still has power. Make sure you bring blankets, layer up, bring water, food, flashlight, and even a first aid kit too… just incase your car decides to not take you all the way. BE SAFE!

Edit: grammar

You need confirmation from other Mainers that you're similar....

You're going to want to go somewhere warm very soon. CMP has some long estimates for the 6300+ without power.

hang in there... i hope you get it back soon!

6300 approximately without power, per CMP on Twitter.

Update: Mine went out at 1238am until 5ish, so I ran the generator. Went out again at 0730, back up ten minutes later.

In the midst of Polar Vortex temperatures even...
