We have buried lines from the collector street to the house. Above ground runs two blocks to the substation which has lines running into from two directions (usually it’s a flow through but they can re-route if a major transmission line goes down). So summer of 2019 we were without power ( and AC ) for 18 hours in August. Reliability is no longer the middle name at ERCOT, and ONCOR can be a real disaster.

Funny you should mention that as I remember that hot windless incident. I went to ERCOT then to look at their stats. Wind power being generated was zip, nada, nothing.
Stupidity has consequences- for us peasants.
