Power on Rattlesnake
Made it out to Rattlesnake in the rain and the darkness to find no power. Spoke to NHEC and they said they would send out a crew in the morning. It's dark out here!

Thanks for telling them
I noticed my webcam went out this afternoon. My internal devices also not responding so I assume no power. It is tough when few people are on the island. I assume the power is out and would call NHEC. But it could be the DSL line!
Again, thanks for reporting the outage. IG

The power is still out.
NHEC called me back last night and said they would of send anyone out until this morning. I have walked about a half mile of line and saw no damage. My neighbors meters are also blank so I know it's not an isolated outage. Hope they get it fixed soon or we will be melting our frozen food.

Looks like it could be out again, I noticed snake eyes and my drop cam are both out.

Power out
The NHEC outage map shows the western end of Rattlesnake without power. But that is their only outage in the state. Interestingly, the Home page says there are no outages, but if you click on the outage map it shows Alton with an outage on Rattlesnake.

Did you report the outage?
Is anyone still on the island?

I guess I am, I haven't closed due to work schedules. I won't be able to until Halloween weekend and it will be chilly!

It's out at our place which is on the Peninsula (aka, the thumb).
Went out at around 5:28 in the morning. The IslandRadio cam stopped responding at that time. http://www.rattlesnakeisland.net/cam.htm Wonder if it's going to be a winter of outages? |

Not Again
I certainly hope not. The winter before last saw an extended outage and our bubbler stopped working. The ice made short work of our newly installed crib dock, popping the deck off of it like the lid on a can of paint.

Thank God fore generators

Looks like we may get power back by mid day Friday. I don't think my generator is bothering anyone because there is no one out here on his end of the island........ and I would not trade it for the world!! |

My Generator has a low oil sensor on it and will shut the engine down if the oil gets too low.
That's OK for me because I never run mine unless I am there to monitor it and can add oil if it shuts down.

I just checked the NHEC site and the alerts on Rattlesnake are cleared but all of the cams are still down so I assume it is still out. I am trying to get through to NHEC now.

Power still out
I am on the island and the power is still out. I would never leave a generator unattended on the island. Most generators have a low oil sensor and they will not start or run unless the oil quantity is sufficient. I am new to the island, and I was not planning on setting up a generator out here. I figured if the power was out for a long period we would jsut go home. Let me tell you it is very dark out here on a stormy night without power. Generac is my new friend!
