Reply to comment by AKBigDaddy in Why does this state seem to lose power so frequently? It’s always related to downed power lines from trees? Or is this a grid issue? by JayBisky

Except most people know that that would be a complete lie. The powerlines in front of your house are almost never the ones that cause an outage. Outages usually happen upstream when they affect thousands of people.

In 5 years in this particular house we've lost power at least a couple days every winter, it has consistently been local lines down due to trees or weather.
