These precautionary outages will very likely make it a whole lot easier to restore power much sooner after Sandy finishes pounding the area.<div><br></div><div>It's actually a surprisingly wise thing for them to have done. However, for it to work out well, they would have had to offline the back-up generators and disconnect the battery systems as well.
