Got our power back yesterday around 4:30 pm. It was only out for 30 hours or so. Nothing like the 2001 inauguration day storm in Seattle, when we lost power from Tuesday until Saturday.

Of course, I got my generator working about 6 hours before the power came back up. It's working now though, and I plan to keep it that way, with a big can of stabilized gasoline at the ready. An event like this makes you realize how dependent we are on electricity.
