That's interesting - most of the time when I call they don't seem to know anything about it yet. They must wait to send until they establish the affected area (that could be longer than UPS batteries can last). Having a text when power comes back on could be very useful, though, since that is when most of us would get very busy bringing stuff back on-line.
Good info - thanks John! Thomas C.
