We are back up! Thank God we didn't have to wait till Saturday after all!!!!!
One thing I got hit by today was the Tulsa mail distribution center is with out power. Sending Priority out will just when they get going again. Davenport didn't get any mail this am to distribute.
Good luck! Filled one a few years ago, No luck. Wasn't even storm related, neutral line came loose at connection one pole away from pole with transformer. Neutral wire fell to ground across fence, transformer arced causing it to leak oil. Power surged in house knocking out 2 TV's and refrigerator. Was told it was a act of nature cause the wind was blowing 20mph that day.
Same here. As late as this afternoon it was still showing 5pm on Saturday, but around 4pm I got an e-mail that said the power had been restored (followed by a "there may be an outage" followed a few minutes later by "power has been restored"). Whatever the case, when I got home, it was cooling down inside. Normally, I turn the A/C off when I leave for work, but after a few days of 80*+ (and no freaking ventilation), I wanted that place cooled down.
I'm surprised some scammer hasn't called and promised to have workers restore the electricity within half an hour as soon as they deposit funds... People are desperate for relief from the heat and want things to return to normal.
Juice just came back on in Kendall-Whittier.
That is IF the outage was theirs. Blown transformer or similar equipment failure.
Son had a transformer putting 160V to house. I had the equipment to prove voltage. They bought new A/C, refrigerator and 2 skil saws.
ETA: we are still out and no time frame for repair.
3 days, so far on generator. Using 4 gals of high octane gasoline every 10 hours.

I had a company come out and look at mine and they said to run the house with the AC and heat would take at least 22 kw. Looking at $10 k. Installed.
High compression?
Hope it works out for you.
