Power Outage

Mboro_Bill · 11-27-2014, 11:20 AM

The Suissevale business office answering machine was working earlier and the Moultonboro Bay Cam is still working but we are between the two and have seen very isolated outages before. Anyone know the extent of outage in Suissevale if any? We were planning on heading up in the morning.

TIA,
Bill V

Looks as if the power went out on Rattlesnake just after 5:09 Wednesday afternoon.

Power is out here (in Townsend, MA) as of about 10:30 this morning. Cooking Thanksgiving food on generator power (something to be thankful for!).

The NH Coop web site has a map of who is out. Here is the link. At the moment, it looks like 51% of Moultonborough is out. Glad I am out of town and not hosting the Thanksgiving dinner this year.

An easy way to track the power outage in the Gilford area is to look down the column of webcam thumbnails on the WeirsCAM page. Right now the Echo Shores Cam, Snake Eyes, Smith Cove CAM and Varney Point CAM are all black and stuck on images from about 5 last night.

No power here near Christmas Island. I don't expect power to be on for a few days. There are trees down on powerlines everywhere around here.
My generator is paying dividends.

We are still out. Nothing since 8pm Wednesday night. Called NH Electric Co-op and outtage was unknown. Huh? No estimate for restore, but likely tomorrow. Huh?
If you are without power I recommend you report in. Another family on LI called in and they too were unknown.
Geez.
Enjoy the quiet! Thank goodness for smart phones and recharging in a car!

Us southerners are taking hits too. I woke up at 3 with no power. Decided to grab some extra blankets instead of setting up the genny. I know folks who are still in the dark so will probably have company tonight.

Good luck to everybody!

Still no power by the GI bridge in Wentworth Cove, doesn't look like the island has power.

We got power back at about 3:40 pm today here in West Alton; nice but not soon enough to save the day. While we have some generator support, it is not enough to put on Thanksgiving dinner for a large group. Fortunately they can all come tomorrow so the bird will get cooked only a day late. It won't be quiet with 5 grandchildren here but the activity will be welcome.

We hope that all the rest still waiting will get power back soon.

Our power was restored at the same time. Sorry your Thanksgiving dinner plans were upset, but it's good the family members can return tomorrow.

I drove to Gilford this morning and saw many trees down, broken limbs, etc. And the heavy, wet snow has the tree branches bending way down. The temp. didn't rise enough today for much of the snow on the trees to melt, so they are still very weighted down.

Mboro_Bill, I was just browsing through the forum and noticed that you are fairly new to posting on the forum after joining back in July 2006. We are glad that you have come aboard and joined us. Have fun and enjoy the Winni Forum while making many new friends.

Great to see you back after short sabbatical from the forum. Hope to see you more often joining in with the members.

bclaker · 11-27-2014, 06:28 PM

We had a few flickers, but never lost power completely. Our power lines are under ground like Steve A's and we are close to the high lines in Laconia. We did lose power though, a few years ago.

Thanks RLW. Last couple of years we haven't been been able to get up to NH as much as we used to and I did not check the forum as frequently. I hope to do better in the future.

Hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving.

Thanks LG. I found this map earlier today but there were no reported outages near us. I checked again when we got home this evening and there are several more reports now - several are near us so I am pretty sure we have no power. Hopefully better news tomorrow.

Thanks wifi. I wondered if you had backup power for the cam. Hopefully they will have the power restored tomorrow when we come up. If not we have the wood stove for warmth and the gas grill to cook on. Also hope the roads are clear. Maybe I should bring the chain saw with me.
