You're right. It seems to be fixed now.
Phew...I thought CP was going to go away one little bit at a time.

5,900,000 people without power. That's going to take a while to fix.

Hey, Griff. You'd be surprised how fast it gets fixed. I wish I could see the data from the power companies. One things utilities do very well is stage their teams for the state about to get hit with whatever. Right now in Florida, you have hundreds of crews from Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and of course Florida hitting the power issue (sort of makes me wonder why buried utilities aren't mandatory but I'm ignorant there). The repair process is a triage process. That 6 million will drop very quickly. The pain will be in the outlying areas.
The good news - and I use that term lightly - is not too much road damage - unlike Hurricane Helene and western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee. This guy Major Hurricane Milton Landfall, As It Happened - YouTube[^] covers weather like a boss. I cannot take "major" news outlets or the Weather Channel any more.
I grew up in NC and had my honeymoon in Boone, NC. A couple of years ago, wife and I went up to Boone for our anniversary. It breaks my heart to see the damage, and we don't even know how many more are still buried in mud.

I agree with you about the speed at which power is restored. On our way evacuating to Georgia on Monday, we counted over a hndred cherry picker type power restoration trucks rushing to central Florida in anticipation of the looming power outages. I was really impressed.
The trash left in the wake of these storms is also cleared up in a week or two, at least in our neck of the woods.
It's so nice to live in a civilised, developed country. I know. I grew up in a much less fortunate part of the world.
Ok, I have had my coffee, so you can all come out now!

Money, money, money. The cost to underground is multiple magnitudes more expensive. Hence it is normally only done in expensive areas where someone else is helping to pay (developers) or it’s an area of importance.

This morning I turn on my computer and notice two changes to Outlook.
1) it always opens on my main screen rather than the left hand one where I left it. It's bad enough that it never comes up the place and size I left it, but at leave keep on the same monitor like it did yesterday!
2) The view has changed to Grouped, with a multiline summary and the preview pane is back. The Groups I can fix, the preview pane I can get rid of. But the waste of space that is a multiple line summary per email is just buried. Deep. And really obvious.*
Microsoft? Just stop assuming that what you like will be what everyone has to have. We set options so we can get at what we want, not what you want - so don't f**k with our settings!
* If you need it, it's under "View"..."Arrange By"..."View Settings"..."Other Settings"...Uncheck "Use compact layout in widths smaller than"...Check "Always use single-line Layout"
What the heck that has to do with sorting things, I have no idea ...

Old or new Outlook?
My current gripe with "new" Outlook: it's started opening TWO copies of every link I click on. The only workaround is to right-click and choose "open link", which opens just one copy as expected.
I suspect if they ever acknowledge the problem, their "solution" will be to change the link handling to always use Edge instead of the system-default browser.

I haven't seen that problem, but then I never open links from emails just to be on the safe side!

I had this "use edge" issue. Along with whoever made the decision to force re-boots, the person who decided to add a registry entry for outlook to override the system default browser... burn in OS hell. If my kid did something this stupid, they would get the "dad look." Or mom look, but you know what I mean.
Meanwhile, let's talk about desktop backgrounds..... (new topic).

When they replaced Windows Mail with Outlook, I quickly ditched Outlook for Thunderbird.

I clung on to Windows Mail for a very long time, but eventually had to succumb. 
Mail was a far superior product!
