Only a mere 10,000 left...

First of all, we got our power back a couple of days ago (about 24 hours after it went out) so with all my crabbing it really wasn't that bad.

Especially considering there are still 10,000 people still without power. Today is Friday, the 28th--the storm that started this whole debacle was NINE days ago. There are people who have now been without power for nine days, as the temperature (and the damn humidity) has continued to climb back up to typical Saint Louis levels.

True, this is no New Orleans-level catastrophe, but c'mon Ameren...for real?

Nine days?
