[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The DC area is less likely to have widespread outages from storms like that because we are accustomed to snow. In fact, we are having less snow lately rather than more. Also, the power grid and tree canopy are better maintained than in Texas. That said, when our area loses power it generally is one part of it rather than the whole thing. [/quote] This. We have only lost power in the summer. Usually for less than a few minutes. The worst was a hyper localized outage of a few blocks from a giant tree that went down. But I went to a friends to work and charge my stuff. It was not a huge deal. If you lost power, it’d be very unlikely you couldn’t get somewhere that did have power. But if you are really nervous, get a small heater that would run on batteries. You can seal a room and run that and it’d be enough until you could get out. [/quote]
