No thanks Karen on the 24 days....has that happened to you?
Your recommendations however not helpful...don't burn things inside the house, it's heavy heavy rain, 2 inches in less than 24 hours so no on the bbq...
My neighborhood is unique in my city with major grid issues...so, there's always someone on my city fb page, I don't have a problem with no power....Others in my neighborhood and a few others have had it...They have power across the street from me. My grid is shared with other cities.
BTW we froze, I had to sleep in the upright position as my bed wouldn't flatten, etc.etc.
I've been through maybe 3 long ones last summer....3 day outages, 2 in the last week ,and maybe 10 other major long standing ones since moving here. Many shorter term ones.
Every neighborhood is different, even in the same city.
No one questions our country wide grid needs upgrading. Wait till AI data centers need all their power. It will be a nightmare for everyone sooner than you think.
Someone has designed a satellite that can beam back radio waves from massive in the sky solar panels if you will.
The satellite had to be made light enough to carry loads and made of special materials.
Innovation like this is the only thing that will help I fear.
