Twice in 11 years! Once for 5 minutes and the 2nd for 30 minutes. We're just above the Savannah Center in a 20+ year-old home.

Power outage
 

Have been here for a year and a half and in that time I believe there has been one outage in my area (south of 44). It wasn’t very long.

I live off of Moyer Loop in the Village Of Pine Ridge. It is fairly common to have minor power outages of less than 15 min. This may occur once every two months. However during Irma power was off approximately 8 hours.
It is noted that even though the power lines within the Villages are underground, the distribution lines getting to TV are not. This may also account for the brief outages that are experienced.

[QUOTE=kp11364;1988115]Hi all,

Looking at the SECO outage map, there appears to be apx. 112 households out of power from Buena Vista Blvd on the west, Pellon Place on the north, Red Hill Road on the east and Golden Grove Drive on the south. Outage was reported at 8:15pm tonight.

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


Once in 7 years blip when lightning struck nearby

No issues during Irma

most incidents here are due to lightening strikes. Sub stations also take direct hits, and occassionally they can fry some equipment. The last one was several hours the friday prior to the labor day hurricane which blasted the bahamas.

IMO Lightning strike cause majority of them or occasionally drunk driver hitting utility poles.

I live in one of those 112 homes. The cause according to SECO was a "lightning my arrester". We have lived in The Villages 14 years. Five in our present home. This is perhaps the second outage I can recall. It is the longest one.

17 years with no outages (probably shouldn't have said that!!)
