Power was restored in some areas at about 5:10 p.m.

Martin, If you are going to throw religion into the caption, please don't discourage it. I think…Read More it was amazing how far into the playoffs they got and it seems by saying the words "prayers go unanswered" is a negative remark. We should be proud of them for being the underdogs regardless if they won or not.
