‘Eversource’: Our Power In Alton (New Hampshire) Has Been Up-and-Down The Last Hour.

This was AHEAD of a storm we are expecting.

There were a few, brief, MINOR gusts of wind.

Then we lost power TWICE in quick succession.

In both instances it was back within 4 minutes!

So, though ‘Eversource‘, as ALWAYS, is blaming it on tree branches on wires, I think it was either crew doing some maintenance or them messing around at a station. Either way I am NOT happy BUT delighted that I have my ‘Generac‘ (installed just over a year ago).

Luckily I slept through it. Not so my daughter. But, she didn’t wake me because she knew it would ‘distress’ I.

They claim it was ‘animal contact’ with equipment — whatever that means.

It appears to have been a transformer across the road from us. I didn’t see/hear it but I am told that there were 3 trucks there to fix it.

Only our road was affected. This happens too many times, i.e., just our road.

Our 24kW ‘Generac‘, delivered last Tuesday, isn’t still hooked up. Just my luck.

Luckily this was short, i.e., 2-hours, & happened when I was asleep. For that I am glad.

Well …

Can’t wait to get the Generac hooked up & functional — which should be this coming week, with LUCK (something I don’t have unless it is prefixed by ‘BAD’).
