That's pretty good. It was a local event but we had a windstorm last 
summer that took out a lot of power lines. Some poles were blown over 
directly but the area had a lot of Ponederosa pines. The mature ones run 
about 40m tall but they have very shallow root systems. When they went 
over they took out a lot of power lines as well as blocking roads and 
damaging cars or houses.

Power was restored to most of the city in a couple of days but I'm outside 
of the city so it was 6 days. It actually was restful. The days are long 
in the summer and it was pleasant outside. I didn't bother with the 
computers but I could charge the phone and Kindle from the car. The 
biggest problem was water since I'm on a well. 

Winter would have been a problem but I have a gas stove that doesn't need 
electricity so I wouldn't freeze. It still was a lesson in how dependent 
we are on electricity.
