Our power has been out since 9:30 this morning in the city of Tecumseh and it is 4 in the afternoon as of right now. This is the longest power outage i personally have ever experienced and it is also 33 degrees outside. I understand that it may take a couple hours to fix said outage but over 7 hours? This is getting ridiculous.
