Connecticut utility will not meet deadline to restore power to 99% of customers - CNN.com

"Eight people were reported to have died in Connecticut, half of them from carbon monoxide poisoning."

Since we're adjusting our clocks to summer time and supposedly replace batteries in fire/gas/monoxide detectors....

Please DO install monoxide detectors in your home, and if your home already has some detectors powered by mains, it is a good idea to install at least one that's powered by batteries.

Some might be using a charcoal grill in the garage, for cooking.

Those detectors are cheap

at WalMart. Both the smoke and the carbon monoxide sell for ~$10 apiece. Down here in Florida, just about every time we get hit with a hurricane, there will be at least one death because someone used a generator in their garage. If only people would just realize the dangers of that GAS!

LoL, so true. Gotta wonder about the thought process when someone decides to use a generater or barbeque inside the house/garage.
