It took almost 10 months to get power back. I guess you can figure out why it’s where they used to live! I realize that ours was an extreme case but it does make you reevaluate your situation. I work out of my apartment a few days a week and my office the rest of the week and I was evacuated for almost a month. The reason I took so long to come back, I wasn’t returning until I had electricity. There was no potable water for almost six weeks and the city was advising that you boil your water before you drink or cook with. My apartment was 100% electric(stove, oven, and heat) and with a three year old and no where to buy water I was not about to return. Things here are somewhat normal again but imagine being without power for 4-6 weeks.
