Me too.

PEPCO averages a 5-day turnaround on something Dominion (with same number and severity of outages can get back up and running in ~29hrs). See WashPost article today about this.

I would never live in MoCo. I lived in NW and then Nova for the past 10 years and have only lost power once and only for a couple hours. We never lost in any of the major snowstorms or thunderstorms--yet coworkers lose it as a matter of right multiple times a year. There is no way I could handle it that. The few hours we did lose it--my a** was already in a hotel down the street.
