Yesterday we tried to drop the kids at their normal time (20 minutes after being told that school was on) and were sent back home until at least the emergency lighting could recover. Sid took them back around an hour later and was allowed to leave them even though they were a few minutes shy of total recovery. They never did see full power up at the kids' school. Some rooms had lights some had functioning wall outlets. The A/C never did come on. When I went back to pick Sheela up for her dental appointment they didn't ask me to sign her out as they had no idea who was there or who'd been there earlier. Without their computer tabulation systems they just couldn't keep track. Half of Sheela's class showed up some in the morning, some in the afternoon almost none of them stayed all day. Sunil had two thirds of his class show and they almost all stayed once they arrived.
A similar experience was had at the gym this morning. The free weight room was closed (no lights and no A/C). The machine weights were available under the unshaded bulbs of temporary garage lights. The pools were filtering, pumping and well lit. The aerobics room managed emergency lights and no A/C. Most of the exterior lights are still out.
