Customers out for electrical power means a meter base. If you figure 2.5 people per meter base, that is over 500,000 people out of power. The lows in the mountains for this upcoming week will be in the 40s. Add in the problems associated with not having any water. Once the temperatures go below freezing shortly, water pipes will freeze in houses where there is no power or the power is on without the heat being set. We should understand that many of these houses are no longer standing or are unsafe.
