If A Tree Falls On A Power Line On Labor Day And No One Is Around To Fix It -- Does the Power Still Go Out?

Labor Day! Barbeques, beer, and No Power for 5 hours! Yep -- I was working away on my PC when blammo -- the power went out. No biggie -- I needed to get away from the boat anchor.

The big problem was that since it was Labor Day, ComEd only had a skeleton crew on -- but I have to hand it to them -- it only took 5 hours to get the lights back on.
