Generator has been running over 30 hours …. They tell us 2-3 more days! Enjoy the show …… I have a tree on one of the power rightaway lines on my property. They’re coming tomorrow to address it. Added some photos from the surrounding area. Google “Straight Line Winds”

Looks like you have quite the mess.
I was watching the Pittsburgh news this morning and they said there's still over 200,000 without power and several storm related deaths.
 
Still no power, original date was late 5/5 but it’s closed up to tonight at 11pm. Influx of help from KY and TN line workers are getting it done. Some pics from yesterday’s work …..

That is a long time to be on generator power.
We had the storms and high winds but thankfully power only blipped a couple times. However just last night I noticed our Generac whole house generator had the red light on. It means critical error. I called for service but so far no call back.
 
Still no power …. We are now at 86hrs and the generator just keeps purring. God, I’m glad I get free NG. If this outage goes till Monday as now informed, it’ll have burned near 30,000 cu.ft of gas. 305 GM running non-stop. Ironic, the generator was schedule for annual maintenance the morning after the storm. Called the tech just after the storm hit and told him if it’s running we gonna wait …. And we still waiting! 😛

I'm really glad we didn't get the outage. I was in FL and left the kids home alone. I'd have to walk them through using the little generator and wouldn't even try to have them hook up the whole house genset.
As of this morning, there's still 75,000 without power in Pittsburgh.
