Funny, I’ve been here since 2007 and we’ve only had one power outage.
Of course, that made national news.
As did the one in, what, 2004 when somoene over in the midwest knocked over a transmission pole and knocked the entire northeast off the grid? My family was in NYC without me for that one. I told them to climb back up the stairs to their hotel room and not come out until it was over, but thanks to Rudy people behaved much better than the 1977 blackout.
That makes three I know of.
I was lucky in Vegas, too. I can only recall one outage in the middle of winter. Bitter cold wind, 22 degrees with wind at 17-21, at night, and this cold snap lasted for 10 days. I did NOT have enough clothes in my closet to keep warm!
I went out and offered hot coffee to the power workers.
