I just saw that AEP posted more precise dates today ... that's the first time I've seen any dates from AEP since the storm.

After posting that last night, I listened to the local radio and they were questioning one of the power companies about the dates. They said along the lines of what I did, though their reasoning was something I should have realized ... that they were being over conservative in order to not miss commitment dates and make an already bad situation worse.
