They do here as well but after a bit, what does the bitchin' accomplish ? We live a looonggg way from the Gulf of Mexico but we got remnants of Hurricane Ike one year. We lost power for a few hours while neighbors around the block had no power for 14 days ! Why ? The 'individual' feeder power line for their homes ran to just 10 homes. If his was out for 6 days, he must live in a pretty rural location or a similar scenario to our neighbors... Those are the lowest priority for getting repaired.
