So I live in a pretty rural area in the US (closest town (population 600) is ~30-45 minutes away, closest 'city' (population 40k or so is even further). We lose power when it's windy, sunny, rainy, stormy, or just because it's Tuesday.
Often, it takes them 3-4 days to figure it out. That happens 2-3 times a year, at a minimum. The worst was two years ago - we went about 6 weeks total all year without power. We have a lot of meat and produce in the freezers. It makes me uncomfortable to have that much food without a backup.
