Blackout: Restaurants sustained substantial economic loss due to power outage of September 8, 2011.

The recent power outage caused most, if not all, of the restaurants and bars in the blackout area to close their doors and find a way to prevent food from spoiling. Some restaurants had insurance coverage for part of their loss, but not all. Some did not have the appropriate coverage.

Loss of revenue appears to be the greatest financial loss of all. Without power, lights were off, kitchens couldn't operate and air conditioning went out. Since the outage occurred at approximately 3:40pm, dinner rush and evening sales did not occur.
