I'm surprised by the number of power outages here. Although it's not a huge number, I can't recall it happening up north. It seems that once or twice every summer (not including hurricanes) we lose power for a short time. It seems like it was maybe once or twice every 20 years in New England.
We have not experienced any power outages in Mallory Square and we are here full time since 2016. We didn't even lose power during the last hurricane that came through.
