How often does this happen? Are the outages usually short (some hours) or longer (some days)?

Thanks!

Kevin
We have lived here for 11 years (between Truman and Roosevelt golf courses) and have only experienced minor outages of a few minutes a handful of times. We are usually gone 2 or 3 months in the summer and our bedroom clock would be flashing if there had been an outage. Our longest time without power was for a few hours when they had to replace a major component in an electrical box that serviced our block. Other than that I have been amazed at how few outages we have.
