    I don't care what anyone says. First energy should have reached out to other states for help when this first happened. For those of you who have power count yourself lucky.

    Does anyone find it strange that a blind man with a white cane is complaining about the pitch black and not being able to find his way down the stairs and out of the building? And, why is it that nobody has a flashlight? Especially since that function is built into just about every cell phone made these days.

    It sure would be nice if CEI would provide a little more granularity about where they are working on restoring power and when those are can possibly expect power. The uncertainty is unnerving..
