Here in San Francisco's Mission district the power used to go out every time it rained heavily (2-3 times a year for a period of 5 years or so.) Seems to have been fixed a year or so back. Heavy rain in SF isn't even all that heavy, though the roads do become almost impassable since they're not built with a gradient. In other cities I've lived in power cuts were a once every two or three years thing and you could still drive on the roads when it rained.
