I wonder how hard this is going to hit the pocketbooks of the NE Power Companies. I mean losing revenue from 10-20 million customers for a 24hour period in some cases isn't going to look good on their accounting sheets. Couple that with, i assume, damage that will probably total in the millions of dollars in repairs and labor at stations and sub-stations.
I hope in the coming weeks that we dont hear about federal aid being needed by the power companies to recover.
