Maxwell is likely still without power. Reports are saying that some areas could be without electricity for an entire month. Let's hope for Maxwell's sake that he is not in one of those areas. Check in when you can M.

That's good news Maxwell. I'm glad to hear you missed the brunt of the damage, and the best news is you're back up and running. I feel for all those people who are in worse situations. Let's hope the cleanup and power restoration go quicker than expected.
