Geez - what kind of power system do they got down there where the power goes out that often?

4 squirrells in a cage running on a wheel. We never had this problem until the Feds forced them to shut down the coal fired plant we had. Which has a pipeline to Utah feeding it.

My power goes out about once a month. It goes with the territory when you choose to live on a Blue Ridge mountain. Lol…

Most of the time it is several momentary flickers. Less frequently the power is off a few hours. A week ago, a wicked windstorm knocked out power for about 22 hours at my place. Downed trees, blown down and snapped poles, blown up transformers. 15 minutes of probably 80mph straight wind did all this.

It took about 12 hours for the line crews to chainsaw clear 1.2 miles of county paved road and make.repairs along the way. On the gravel roads where my cabin is situated, neighbors with chainsaws and small tractors cleared our private roads.
