Like the other Georgia commenters, had a severe storm starting at 4AM trailing off at 6 and ending at 7. We lost power for about 20 minutes, all my essential gear stayed up on battery power. I’m on underground power but we have trees down in Atlanta and a lot of people lost power for a few hours.
What’s amusing is this is all on the heels of another discussion about electrical grids in the US vs Europe and a lot of points made are exactly what we experienced. Our grid can be technically as competent as anywhere but a giant storm sending a tree through a transformer or distribution line is going to make for a bad day.
