I’m baffled by people going without power being a somewhat regular thing. I’ve never in my life been without power. I grew up on an old farm, and not once did we lose power. Sometimes lightning would flip the breaker, but never more than that. I realise this is because of the difference in size and infrastructure between my country and USA, but it’s still wild to me, that some people in a rich country actually need a generator. I’ve only ever seen a generator once in my life. It was used at a beach party to power the music.
There are still great areas that have very low populations. I live in such a place in the middle of a huge forest. Think 10,000+ acres of trees everywhere. They tend to fall over in bad weather. Living in an open farmland area where a wood fence post can considered a tree, power outages are rare.
