What stuck with me is how a 98% restored figure can still leave a lot of people out, since that share was for one utility's customers, not everyone, and some of the last properties simply couldn't take power back yet, as noted in this write-up on Houston's Hurricane Beryl restoration: https://power-outage.org/research/houston-hurricane-beryl-power-outages/

Thank you. I feel bad for all those people who had to deal with that. I live in the Midwest. Tornados are the regions primary concern.

Yeah. I wish I was retired already. All these years that I've worked, I'm just tired of it all. At my age, I'm ready, but I'm not there yet financially.
