Well that did it!

The last time I've had a sustained power outage was in 2011 when I lived in Alabama and we had a Tornado supercell come through and spawn 360 tornadoes included an EF4 that went though the University of Alabama campus not too far away. We had 10 EF4 or EF5 tornadoes in Alabama that day.

Since moving to Oregon 8 years ago we haven't had a single unscheduled power loss that has lasted more than a few minutes. Yesterday I lost power for 10 - 15 seconds 3-4 times. One of the benefits of living in an area with the vast majority of the electrical distribution underground.
