Honestly, it's gotten better in the last few years, but when I first moved to Dallas, the most noteworthy thing wasn't even these high-profile large-scale outages. It was the poor state of infrastructure in general. Above-ground power lines combined with trees the city never trimmed meant we had outages from lines going down virtually every time there was a rain storm. Really, that still happens, but they seem to have finally built enough redundancy in that it comes right back, instead of coming back hours later like it used to.
- evancox100 4y agoOmg for real, moved out of Dallas a few years ago but every moderately strong storm we would lose power. Totally ridiculous. They came and trimmed trees one time, and absolutely decimated a small tree on my property that had one branch close to the line, while leaving alone huge trees that were completely intertwined with the lines.
