My dad just sent me a message that my brother's power finally came back on in Yardley and the surge started a fire at the oil furnace! He wasn't home but a neighbor saw the fire starting and a firetruck was around the corner! He has water in the basement and damaged floor joists. So if your house still doesn't have power, it's probably a good idea to turn the heat down or turn it off and make sure the lights are turned off so it minimizes the hit when the power comes back on.
