Yeah, given I lived in an area that was pummeled by both Hurricane Irene & a wet snow storm (each crippled power for 10 days at a time), I'd say this event is rather tame, or laughable. Total outages & outage jobs remain lower than at either of the last two storms, great news.

Reply to comment by UnfairAd7220 in Why does this state seem to lose power so frequently? It’s always related to downed power lines from trees? Or is this a grid issue? by JayBisky
I’m not going to argue with you there. I’m with you on that.
However, if the infrastructure had been put underground to start with, recurring maintenance costs due to inclement weather, natural disasters and animal/human accidents would be dramatically less than it is now. A bonus to that situation would be better protection against EMP discharge or terrorist attack.
If you think about it, all of our other services are underground - waste (for obvious reasons), water, propane, natural gas, etc. Why not our power grid?
From a historical perspective, I believe the decision was made to utilize the existing telegraph structures to transfer electricity because it was cheaper and faster to install. I’m not a historian, so don’t quote me on that - it’s just conjecture.

I grew up in fucking Alaska, they even figured this shit out. It's assholes like you digging your feet in holding everyone back.

Yes, another "laughable" event where thousands in my area don't have power again. Cool.

I never actually pack away our summer beach coolers. They just sit on our back porch waiting to become temporary food storage in winter power outages.

Yes, that is correct. They are all very good and very thorough.
A few years ago a coworker of mine just wasn’t feeling well, and her primary care physician blew it off. I suggested Wright and Associates, and they discovered she had a very rare blood disorder and needed a blood transfusion immediately. They quite literally saved her life.

I've never understood why it's legal to have one or more dogs jumping all over you lap while you're driving. Throw a cellphone into the mix and it's only a matter of time until some one gets clipped. These types of people need to be passengers, not drivers.

I'm so sorry! We had a tree fall on our home during the Christmas storm. Not a fun experience

Until you're Pom gets a driver's license you shouldn't let it drive. That's just not right.

Yes trees. In 2016, Maine is 89.46% forest and New Hampshire 84.32 %. Vermont is behind West Virginia at 77.8%. Source Wikipedia “forest cover by state”

Fair. I literally haven’t been since opening week when they were watching like hawks lol. I bet it’s cooled off since then.
