I received this email back from Paducah Power after trying out one of the email addresses from their website and asking if they had any kind of estimate...
I don’t have a good estimate. It could be a little while. We haven’t begun hanging many transformers yet. Our out of town crews that came in yesterday will enable us to start doing more of that. I know you’re hoping for a firm estimate, but it’s just impossible to pin it down because of the enormous amount of work being done. I would plan for at least a couple of more days without power, maybe more. I’m sorry I don’t have better news.
I was shocked I actually received an answer as quick as I did. I sent a thank you back to her and also said a general thanks to all the power workers who are putting in extra hours. At least the out of town crews have made it. I think there are several from the Gulf Coast that are returning the favor from Katrina.
*sigh*
Being displaced sucks. To top it off, I'm also displaced in the office at work because we were suppose to get new office furniture last week. So right now I have all my stuff set up in the conference room where I slept for two days... I'm just displaced all over the place...
