Atco/fortis
[QUOTE=mich;2710029]the main feeds to the town were shut off, some were turned back on before the individual houses were capped
All power and gas was shut off from the outside of the houses, no need for utility workers to be inside.
All of our cleaning was done by generator(for lights) and gas pressure washers, none of the services were used until our homes were gutted, cleaned, and made safe by electrician/plumbers/gas fitters.
The town was patrolled, there was no need for any homes to be entered unless requested by the owners. The people that stayed in were known by the Gestopo[/QUOT
Atco/Fortis did have to go in and shut of individual feeds before turning the main back on....there's still the question of the chance of granny being unable to get out and found floating in the kitchen for a week...probably wouldn't have been good to come back to..glad it didnt happen but the potential was sure there.
