still almost 100,000 without power here

almost one week after the windstorm knocked about 700,000 homes off the power grid, we still have almost 100,000 in the dark. it takes time to run down all the details, i know that. but i can't escape the thought that since power companies switched from community utilities, to for-profit entities, they've reduced their staff and equipment expenses to the point where they can no longer properly serve their customers.
it's a big failure.
