The power outages caused by last weekend's storm made life miserable on thousands of people. But where there is misery, there are often heroes --- people who step up and go above-and-beyond to help their neighbors.
We want to hear about these folks.
So our Question of the Week is this --Who were the heroes of the Great Blackout of 2011 and how did they help their friends and neighbors get through a very difficult time? Share your stories in the comment section.

Our heroes are Jim and Joanne Kenney who loaned us a generator allowing us to stay in our house and not lose all our perishables. They brought it over (stopping to find a gas station on the way so we were all set) and set it all up. What could have been a miserable experience was a mild inconvenience due to their generosity!

Sue Panilaitis is my hero. She helped us out of a tight spot and was willing to add another little one to her brood for the week when our daycare center was out of power. Thank you so much Sue!
