We had a freak 15 min storm that took out our power for five days. No internet , TV , A/C , cook on the barby, two refridgs/freezers full... all thrown out. We have a hillside ranch with city water & sewer, so we could use the water on the upper level but not on he lower level. Over 800,000 people were out of power. One tree came down on a xformer. It shorted out and caught on fire and sending the Hi Voltage ( 5kV ) down the 240v line, destroying all the electrical panels, and whatever else was in the path. Being without power is humbling
