    Is that a regular thing?

    Power last went out for 20 minutes in 2007 around here and people are still talking about it.

      Where i live it’s a regular thing. I’d say once every few months we lose power for a few minutes to a few hours time. Usually it’s just transformer blowing so they get it fixed quick.

    • Not a regular thing for me. Just that it happened this morning. Right as I stepped into the kitchen to cook something, power goes out. It just came back on while writing this response, so I’m gonna make some food now.

      Depends on location in the US: hurricanes, blizzards, wild fires, Texas, etc

      I would say I lose power every couple of years for a short amount of time because of heavy snow.

      These issues could be mitigated if we built more underground lines.
