A video is worth a thousand words, thanks.

When the derecho (wind storm) hit DC in July a lot of gas stations lost power and then stations that had power began running low and running out of some grades.

The lines weren't anything like what your video and the news shows. But it was unnerving.

That's going to get real old real fast. Just read that Con Ed will not have a majority of "customers" (the definition of which includes entire buildings) online again until November 11 and the rest as long as a week later.

21 days without power. And it is getting cold.
