AdmittedHacker, you are no doubt correct and that's the right thing for them to do. Many of the crews that worked on our neighborhoods here were from North Carolina and they need to be at home helping their own. But apparently some crews had been staying here cooling their heels waiting to see what happened with Jeanne.
Slightly off topic but since electricity is so central to all our lives and the discussions here have touched on how much we missed it (for myself, 9 total days with both Charley and Frances) - several local governments (including the one where I live) are considering localizing the power utility and ending their contracts with Progress Energy. After watching the resources ProgEnergy commands in these situations I can't believe they'd still seriously consider it. Don't know if anyone else has seen this happen but it boggles my mind.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center
