That's odd.....
Is there "a plan" for restoring power; meaning, this area first; then THIS area?
Psst. Gilligan lives down there. I think he may have some pull in the matter.

IMO
It looks like they are spreading their resources and hitting the less damaged areas 1st, so they can then concentrate on the harder hit areas. In the areas that have been restored how many new poles had to be planted? Dropping poles and stringing lines is a time consuming process whereas cutting leaners and replacing a transformer or two to energize several hundred or so people is a quick repair.
The official line is that they restore power where it will help the most people in the least amount of time.

To the contrary, I heard a radio piece that said they are concentrating on the hardest hit areas first...restoring power that would benefit the greatest numbers of customers at a time and thus leaving the more remote areas until later. No confirmation on that, but there is some logic in the plan...if it is the plan.

This is S.O.P.

What I heard on the radio says if freezer is half full, food will stay frozen for 1 day, if freezer is full, it will stay frozen for up to 2 days.

Heard the same thing so I took everything out of one and filled up the other. Power went out at 7ish Saturday night and we have not opened up the freezer door yet so I guess we'll see if the theory is correct when the power comes back and we take the first look.
I'll be upset if all my deer meat is a loss.

That's the great thing about having a generator, even just a small one. You can keep your fridge running a couple lights, and your PC-related stuff to stay in touch with the world.

Another good tip is to always have a full freezer. Fill empty milk jugs with water and freeze. This will also lower the amount of electricity used during normal operation.

I've been with SMECO almost my whole life, they always do well.
Power still out, going on 48 hours. 245 was still a MESS this morning on my way to work. Hopefully they'll get to it soon!!

and absolutely no one has any for sale, we searched all over SoMD. Drove down 245 just before dark and it was still a mess.
SMECO doing the best they can I'm sure.
I've had SMECO for about the past 10 years and they are THE BEST power co. I have ever had with regard to getting power back on. My power came on earlier this evening. I was prepared to be out until tomorrow, so was surprised and happy when it came back on!
