How often do you experience power cut in your area? In my place it's a bit better. We hardly face any power shortage or power cut. How about your places, friends? I know a bit about where you come from, at least your countries. Looking at that I'm sure, you might hardly be facing power supply disruptions.

Very much on my expected lines. After all, you are staying in the US. And there's almost round-the-clock power supply, as I had heard earlier. And that might not be power supply disruption. It might be for some maintenance reason, that they might be cutting the power. But here it's quite frequent.
By the way, how long is the power not available once it is cut there - for whatever reason.

I believe you are talking about the maintenance thing, like this street is now, that will be next, etc. If that's the case, then it's quite excelled planning. It helps everyone know the schedule. And things don't go heywire.
So, it's good that there is this system in place for you. This ensures lesser power disturbance.

@grenery8 Well, at least there is so much care taken that things are well in place. Even street lights should work fine. And that's good. Here, at nights street lights are off at some places, due to some reasons. And the interesting thing is that at a few places, such lights are on during the day time

You can't access certain sites... I think you are talking about the internet connection. I was talking about power supply - electricity supply. We have had on-and-off days with the service. But as I said, because we are in the vicinity of industrial area, the power supply is continuous here. I must say, so far so good.

@abhi_bangal Oh, we have not lost power, though I thought we might. Once we had a power outage so bad, people were giving food away, to keep it from spoiling. I ended up getting a turkey. Some lost power longer than us.

@popciclecold I'm sure these occasions are quite rare there. But if power is lost, there is a major reason, and the duration is longer than usual. You said "once we had a power outage". That "once" matters a lot. That's truly not the case with us here. But good for you all

It's rare; but when it does happen, we have a standby generator that automatically goes on when the power goes out. Have a good day.

This means there is hardly any power outage for you Hahaha... If the main source isn't available, you have a backup source. So it means you are always "enlightened". I hope you get my pun But it's good to hear that the power supply is almost always on for you. And you hardly have an outage. Because your very first sentence says that it's rare.
