As power slowly comes back on for households across our region, the issue that could have the greatest impact is the unsafe condition of perishable food.
The best advice: "if in doubt, throw it out." Given that it's now Wednesday, and that even food in a full freezer should generally be discarded after 48 hours without power, all perishable food is at this point well past being safely edible. Discard it.

And the Enquirer has a good story on this as well:
