Just want to be able to make a hot morning coffee and get some laundry done.

I'm in central CT as well. No power since Saturday night, estimated to come back Sunday night.

The power companies were so ill-prepared for this, it makes you wonder what they were thinking.

There are several towns in NJ still without electricity and water as of today. These towns were told that power will be restored by late Friday night or early Saturday morning, which means that the power companies really do not know when power will be restored. There are way too many trees down in the state. There are branches literately hanging the the wires waiting to knap.

In my hometown of Simsbury (CT) school's been cancelled for the week and the HS has become a shelter. Except for those with generators, no one I know there has power yet. I've seen pictures of the town and if it weren't for all the buildings still intact, you'd think an F3 twister blew through, there are so many trees uprooted.
