[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] You're lucky you moved after the derecho of 2012. Before that, the tree canopy was not well maintained and caused frequent power outages due to branches falling on power lines. The derecho was a warning call, and our utilities were forced to aggressively prune trees close to power lines. Not pretty, but ever since, we have not had ONE power outage in our Montgomery County suburb of DC, when previously we had multiple every year. So don't worry too much. If you get a generator for storms, PLEASE create a safe placement for it: ventilate correctly (CO poisoning) and keep it dry (electrocution risk).[/quote] I’ve wondered why we haven’t had power outages in years, but used to have them frequently. Maybe this is it.[/quote]
