    That stinks! Very good question- but sometimes restoring power depends on factors not obvious to those waiting. I don't know how much of an issue ice is there, but when I went thru a severe ice storm years back, restorations were faster when they didn't have to clear trees to get to lines that were down. (Big selling point for underground utilities.) This is a whole different kind of outage, & I don't know enough about the power grid to speculate what's going on there, but from what they've said so far, it doesn't make any sense.
