Real bad here in Bedford NH also.Talked to PSNH and was told some homes in my area will be lucky to get power back by Friday.I got mine back Sunday morning after the house was down to 36.I do have a gen but spent the last 3 days at my parents house with it.They had 10 inches of water in the cellar and of course that ended up ruining the furnace motor which was submerged. Finally have them in pretty good shape this morning after a frustrating couple hours this morning getting the generator running again after in ran out of fuel early this morning.NOTE:check your oil often in your generator.Most have a oil sensor switch that will disable the electrical when the oil is low so that you don't ruin the motor.I found out the hard way way again this morning.Many utility poles down around here that have not even been looked at yet.I suspect some people will be w/o power for a least a few weeks.
