Could you find an article about that. I looked on the net and didn't see anything. And having just getting my power back, I haven't see the news yet, and the radio never mentioned it. Only guys being arrested for stealing power cables for scrap.
I cannot blame people for being upset (not to the point of crews needing protection). I lost power power Sunday morning, before storm really hit, and it took almost 5 days to get power back. And it wasn't even a hurricane. We had a small tree top that was on top of the lines. I watched a tree crew (power company's hire out tree crews) go under it 4 times in the past 3 days, plus 2 power company trucks.
Then there are many, many towns that still have 60% of the homes no power yet. Not saying there right, but we (as a state of CT) pay the second highest electric rates in the country (behind Hawaii), I expect a little better response from the power company, which keeps raising our rates and give us poor customer service because.
My fear is what happens if a real hurricane hits, like Gloria did 25 years ago? We lost power then for 5 days and it was hurricane, now i losing it it for that long, on a tropical storm.
And yes, I had a generator running around the clock for my sump pump. And having the highest gas prices in the country (I am paying $3.85 gal), it cost me $140 for gassing the generator. which also leads to frustration and anger.
