Looking back at the last two years, the causes of power outages lasting long enough to do something about were caused by drivers hitting and damaging power poles, the annual winter ice storm, severe thunderstorms sending trees down on the line, and those idiots who shot out the substation last year.

Power interruptions for a fraction of a second are a weekly to daily occurrence. Lights slightly dim and the stove forgets what time it is and that's about it.
