Southeastern Indiana here. Lost power at about 1:30 PM on Sunday. Power came back on at about 9:30PM on Monday and then went back off at about 11:40PM. Power came back on again during the day on Tuesday for a while and then went off about an hour later. It finally came on for good (so far) at about 9:10PM last night.
We lost a bunch of stuff in the freezer; venison, lobster tails, shrimp, and a bunch of ground chuck.
The hickory trees on our south side are now devoid of hickory nuts and all of this years new growth is gone including about half the leaves which are now in the yards of my neighbors to the north. My yard was strewn with dead branches and we lost 1/2 of a large (about 50' tall & 30" dia at the base) tree in the back yard. It broke off right at ground level. Guess my work is cut out for me for the next few days.
I have already helped one neighbor clear a tree that fell directly in front of her garage door (not hot, bordering on heffalump, no picture) and helped another neighbor clear several large branches (8-10" diameter) that the wind trimmed from his trees.

Wednesday noon... still no power 
Latest word from DP&L is that we "should have electricity Sunday, and it might be even sooner".
That has as much validity as "the checks in the mail"

In the Village of Granville
We haven't had Power since 4:30 on Sunday. Lost 4 trees and numerous tree limbs at the house. Village has trees down everywhere along with downed power, telephone and cable TV lines. Place is a mess.
Downtown now has power, but parts of the Village has many streets without. (Including ours)
Luckily, we have city water.

First day on the forum since Sunday. Lost power at 1:30pm Sunday and got it back on at 4:30pm today. Lost 2 days at work due to no power. Had 1/2 a big tree come down in the backyard. Spent the last 2 days cleaning up and not done yet.

I got pretty lucky, my biggest problem was the power loss. I was out of town so I wasn't able to save anything in the fridge. My power came back on around 11 PM Tuesday night. MY parents never lost power

Thursday 10pm... still no electricity, and no running water.
this is getting rediculous
DP$L is putting those with wells on low priority. if they repair a line here.... they may only get 300 electric meters spinning.
If they repair a line in a densly populated area first... the payback is more likely to be 3000 meters spinning. Problem with that logic is those 3000 homes probably had NO water interruption at all whatsoever.

That really sucks Tim.
It's bad enough without power, but no water on top of it is really tough. We still have people here in the same boat. They are saying some may be off till Sunday!!
We've been fortunate and had water but no power since Sunday, Finally power is back on today.
Hope they get you up and running soon.

So Tim, have you seen the light yet?
I took the afternoon off and spent it putting together 7 4' long by 24" bundle of downed branches for pickup.
Also stripped all the 1" and smaller branches off the 8" branch that's hanging from the tree in the backyard. I'l having to cut it off with a 14' pole saw. Fun stuff...

Well I finally got my mess cleaned up. I learned how to use a chain saw, Haven't had to work this hard in a long time. I don't know if you know it Tim but there is a phone # you can call if you still don't have power. It is 877-468-8243.

On my way home Sunday an orange barrel blew into the side of my truck at about 55mph, I haven't tried to rub out the mark yet.
I've been busy cleaning up my twisted up aluminum gazebo and cutting up some of the 7 huge trees downed. Been lucky though none of the trees hit the house (or the garage where the Vette is) and we never lost power.
