UPDATE.

So my electricity is still off at my house! But a good thing is that I have relocated successfully to my place of business and camping out here. We have a fully stocked refrigerator here, mini kitchen, heat, & hot water, etc... On the way here we stopped by Target and bought a couple of air mattresses. On a positive note, my kids are really having a great time. We had a skate party in our showroom! I am sure they will remember this their entire life and will tell this story to their kids and grandkids..

Even though I am not home, with all the technology our homes now have, we can easily tell when the power is back on. The home security cameras have a cloud based app, hell even my washer machine and dryer have a cloud based app. All of the apps show that the devices are offline. All those items require my home internet to be working. However, the alarm system has it's own gprs cell data connection, all it needs is power. So I also called them to verify that the alarm system shows to be offline as well. They confirmed it was. So that confirms that my power is still off.
