Well, I just got power back at 1PM EST.. was out for 21 hours, and MANY of the surrounding communities are still without power, including the city of Detroit proper....
People RUSHED the stores.. within hours, there were NO batteries, NO flashlights, NO ice... ATM's did not work.. GAS Stations did not work.. people ran out of gas IN the gridlock on the way home ( obviously street signals were out also ) Cabella's ( a 25K sq foot store south of detroit) SOLD OUT of ALL flashlights, batteries, and generators within 3 hours of the blackout... it was a mess! LOL
Probably be a couple days before things even settle down, and gas stations are up and running again.. right now, those that are working look like they did in the 70's during the 'energy crisis'... lines for miles trying to get some gas...
Other than no internet, I could have given a shit.. was like camping as far as I was concerned! LOL
