From roughly 4am -> 5:30pm we were without power to my house. It was just like being in India.

I cooked lasagna on the fireplace and had jugs of water ready to refill the toilet tanks.

We were roughing it... and just as we were reaching severe boredom, 'DING' the beep on the microwave goes off and we have power again!!

Never under estimate the need for Hydro.
Neither rain, nor sleet, nor... who gives a shit, fix my damn Hydro and put my tax dollars to work!!!
