33 Hours. No Power
Forums:
What's the longest you've gone without power due to an outage?
We went 5 days once here (Stinson Beach, Ca), and that sucked.
Yesterday we had a transformer get nailed by a big tree on the mountain
behind town during a wind and rain storm, and if it wasn't pounding rain, the whole goddamn thing would
have burned.
Fire on the Mountain, narrowly averted.
Now PGE is having problems fixing it.
Given their track record and the fact that they just declared bankruptcy, it's not surprising.
Yes, first world problem.
