I don't know what the fault was that tripped it out in the morning but I traced the afternoon and evening outage back to the substation circuit for our area. That would have meant several hundred homes including doctor's offices, restaurants, and several apartment complexes all being dark. So we were lucky to be part of a fix that would take a decent chunk out of the irate callers list. I can still hear at least one generator running in the area probably due to broken line into a home. Seen some more in town running on generator yet too.
Just checked and AEP is showing 2,449 and SCP showing 1,003 still without power in my county. The numbers are over double that in the two counties to our SE. That puts them about 40-60% still without power considering their lower population levels. The only thing in their favor is more people down there heat at least in part with wood, coal and kerosene anyway. Plus the rural folk down in the hills tend to be a more self sufficient then in this area. They're more used to shopping once every week or two instead of running to the stores everyday like here.
