It happens every time. We made it through a mid-size windstorm yesterday with no power outages. This morning a fucking stupid truck driver missed a turn and knocked down a pole, causing a large outage in this part of town. Not even an accident, just bad driving.
The outage hasn’t quite reached my house, but these things tend to cascade now that the alleged “grid” is designed to be maximally vulnerable to “cyberattack” and ‘RUSSIAN_AGGRESSION” and “climate emergency” and above all Holy Share Value.
