MELISSA JOAN HART is getting back to normal life in the aftermath of superstorm Sandy after authorities finally reconnected her home's electricity supply.

The actress was left without power at her house in Connecticut for more than a week after high winds brought down a number of trees and cut off cables outside the property last Monday (29Oct12).

Hart and her family spent several days in the dark, with only a temporary generator powering their home, but she is now celebrating after the electricity supply was restored on Monday (05Nov12).

In a post on her Twitter.com page, she writes, "We finally got power back! Came home to find lights and heat and a fridge running and hot water! Never take 4 (sic) granted again. Sandy sucks."
