I was actually typing this at the restaurant last night. And man were they ever busy. It was our 2nd choice as the first one had a 100 minute wait time for a table. We'd see areas with power on the way there and areas without. The area around Westgate Boulevard & William Cannon was completely dark. There's actually a good view of downtown from the hill up there and it was especially impressive last night looking out over the darkened neighborhood. Anyway, on the way home I started noticing areas that had power that didn't the night before and then streets in our neighborhood that had power that didn't the night before and even earlier in the evening. We turned down our street and it was mostly dark as the street lights were out and it was dark on one side, but then we realized the power was on on our side. I think several people had actually opted to get a hotel or stay with friends as our neighbors did. That was a beautiful sight having electricity again. haha We were without power for a solid 60 hours since Wednesday morning.
