worked for a utility
Underground is much more reliable than "poles & wires". If the system is designed correctly your outage time should be no more than 2 hrs under normal equipment failure situations. In the event of a Hurricance or Tornado the damage to Tower lines, and Substations can take much longer. But the utility needs to repair them first. I will be bringing a generator with me because I already own one. I do not think I would go out and buy one.
