well...being fair, if you read the article it states they went through supplies in 4 hours that would usually have lasted a weekend... think upon that... add in this was Wednesday, after 48+ hrs with a likelyhood of the workers having no power at their home, or their family's, etc...anybody here going to say that's not stressful? on top of working your ass off? OK, you could say they at least got to be in a building with heat and lights...fair enough...still, I bet the workers didn't have a lot of choice whether or not they were working if they were able to get there... I CAN tell you this...I went with power out from 1:57 a.m. Monday morning until 11:08 a.m. Tuesday...then it went off around 6 hrs later and was out for another 21 hrs...and I was lucky in that I have a gas water heater and gas stove top (oven don't work without power for self light and control) so at least I could eat hot food, make some hot chocolate and take a hot shower...it was butt cold...then the water goes off Thursday morning and just got it back on yesterday...got lucky I guess in that I had no frozen pipes like others... so yeah, a week "vacation" with I high amount of stress, lack of sleep, and now scrounging around for food (throwing it in the snow only works in the short term, and certainly not for frozen foods) supplies...but hey, at least I am/was pretty prepared for whatever and have plenty of non-perishable supplies so I'm not going to go hungry
