We've been out of power since 330... Please let us know when to expect the power to come back...

KUGreen,
We've reached Westar and they say for that, for most customers, it could be back up in as soon as 20 minutes to an hour.

Thanks hopefully I'm not part of the unlucky 100.

Yeah, power is out at Deerfield school (still), and the school carnival was tonight. Tried to carry on in the dark, people singing songs for the cake walk, no inflatable bouncy houses, no power for the vendors...

It was the Mole Man, Kala and Tyrannus. They were engaged in a battle for Subterranea (again).

6:00 ??? Power went out around 3:30. Funny how the first thing you hear when you call the Weststar outage number is how they are so customer service friendly but you can talk to a human. I've never had as many outages as I've had since moving to the Deerfield neighborhood.

We got home at 4pm and no power, didn't come on tile about 6:50. When you call you get a generic message about saying it should be on in 30 minutes to 2 and a half hours.
