Hal - Deliberately Basic

The residents of  Fairwood Village retirement, a senior housing community, took to the streets with protest signs September 20. They are frustrated and angry that Dayton Power and Light has not yet restored their power. This according to an AP article today.

Having worked for AT&T I can tell you for certain, the crews are working their collective asses off to get power back. Threatening and harassing will only slow the process.

Homes for the aged, nursing homes and any facility where life and death are at stake should have a backup generator. This should be mandatory. Instead of jeopardizing the efforts of the very people trying to help, go after the facility that didn’t bother to prepare for emergencies such as this.

The rest of the AP article goes on to elaborate about the panic that has set in, one man even threatening to kill a utility worker with a gun. Trucks blocked, Duke Energy had to call for security when angry people threatened a dispatch center.

According to the AP about 2.6 million homes and businesses were without power at the peak.

Come on folks, this is no time to get stupid. In Ohio that may be a contradiction in terms.
