Yep. My sister and her fam in Simpsonville have been told likely Friday for them. Adding to the misery, their subdivision was built in 2 phases. They live in the 2nd phase. The first phase got their power back Saturday or Sunday.
Roll call: who's currently without power (as of 9am)?

- Start date
Power now back on. That was a miserable 4 days.
That was a trial run for if/when our power grid is hacked/attacked, and I am now upgrading my preparations.
My appreciation for the blessings God has given us which we take for granted has increased immensely.
We finally got to see my mother's house in Duncan, SC yesterday. (She no longer lives there but we still own it). Devastating, tons of damage. The neighbor's house next to it is totally destroyed.
We were very lucky here with everything. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of you that have struggled and are still struggling. God bless and keep the faith!
Still without power here in Botany Woods in Greenville. Day 6. It looks like a literal war zone..
I have 3 trees down in the back and one in the front. One is on my house and has resulted in water damage inside the home. I’ve called 8 tree companies and still haven't been able to get someone out here to even quote it. Hoping the guy that did the neighbor’s trees comes today to look (he said he would yesterday, but never showed). 2 others have told me the same, but never showed up. This is fun.

My dad said some tree removal service had been contracted by State Farm to remove trees for its customers on his street. Not sure they would do it for other customers, but fortunately my dad's home is also insured by State Farm, so most of his fallen and teetering trees were removed and stacked in the street yesterday. They are supposed to come and finish the job at his property today, but they don't haul them off.

It is the neighbor’s trees on my property and was still told it would be our responsibility to cover the $5k deductible. And then told me they only reimburse $1,000 for trees to be cut/removed. Neighbors are getting quotes of $3K+ per tree.. This could potentially cost me a lot of money because somebody else’s trees fell on us..
We are with State Farm and our adjuster still hasn’t come out. He called Saturday night and was nice, but offered no similar options.

If State Farm in SC isn't handling this as a disaster versus a personal homeowner's insurance claim, I'd also look into applying for assistance from FEMA: https://www.fema.gov/press-release/...-apply-fema-assistance-after-hurricane-helene
My son and his family received notification last night from Aiken Electric Coop that they estimate power in their area will be restored in 2-3 weeks.

Sleep apnea can be caused by overweight. I used to have it. Lost 15 lbs and no longer a problem. Fat in chest presses down on lungs.
I live in Lancaster. Lost power at 7:30 AM Fri and was not back on until about 8PM Sun. I now hate Duke Power. Our power section has 46 homes so not a big priority for Duke.

I probably should have a sleep test to see if I still have sleep apnea because I'm certainly not now overweight. My case was not severe when first diagnosed.
My brother lives in NA and the power is back on. It came on last night, but went out again in the morning. Back on as of noon.
Just depends on where in North Augusta. My grandparents got it back tonight, but my parents and 3 brothers are all still out. I'm still out as well.
I"m in North Augusta, on Bunting Dr. We got power back late Tuesday. It's gone off a few times since, but comes back. Some areas of North Augusta will certainly take longer.
