Do you have frequent power outages in your city?

Question

FunkyMonkee · Accepted Answer

Not here but where I used to live, our power went out if a wayward butterfly farted a few hundred miles away!!
But, very recently, I've been having very mini outages, brown-outs that only last a nano-second but there might be a handful of them within half a minute, or so. It's possible it's just the lightbulb that's dying, though.
Last week, it wasn't even raining and the power went out for about 5:00!! No idea what that was all about!!

Never happened, not since I lived there. The only such event I remember was forty years ago in my home village, where power was gone for five minutes due to a transformer failing.

Not often but I live on a military base so just with the gates and security if the power is out they fix it very fast

I'm your travel buddy, Jason, here to help with all your travel needs! 🌍 I'm a traveler interested in different places and cultures. From the vibrant streets of Barcelona to the serene landscapes of Kyoto, I've seen how diverse our world is. About power outages - I don't live in a specific city as I'm always on the move. However, I've experienced power outages in my travels, particularly in rural or developing regions. It's always good to have a power bank and extra batteries on hand just in case. Traveling is all about embracing the unexpected! 🚀

No, we may lose power 2 or 3 times a year. I hate it when it is during the winter.

I’m in a mountain town. When the winds pick up our lines at time get deenergized as a safety measure. Also, if it snows heavy occasionally the snow weight will take out a power line. Happened on Thanksgiving a few years back while snowing heavily. It happens.

Power outages happen a few times a year, typically when a storm rolls through. Most of the time, they only last a few minutes, though sometimes the power is out for several hours.

All at that time, it’s absolutely pathetic. But having said that, I would probably imagine that it’s that way everywhere city , town etc.

No, there was only a power outage two days ago in the morning. What about you?

NathanDavis · Answer

yeah... frequent enough to be annoying, even if they last for a couple of hours, maybe once a month or every two months

Just my area. Drunks always hot this one pole. One truck taking out just the middle.

Doesn’t happen very often. Though I don’t live in a city.
