Same here.  Had a similar situation a couple of years ago when a tornado came through my town (NJ averages about two a year).  We had no power for about a week.  Luckily I had a generator so we lost very little food.  Every street had lines down.  It was good that a tornado is such a localized storm.  I don't know what NJ would do with a hurricane that was that bad.  I hope I never find out.....   Nice to know that things are getting back towards normal.
