It was barely drizzling earlier today and the power has been out for like 5 fucking hours… 😒

Has it been a while since duke power had the tree limbs cut?
Yes. Strangely enough I was literally thinking about it on the drive home earlier today. But the wind was never even really blowing, way earlier in the day there was a period with some solid rain but that was it. I was took a stroll around the street with Rad like 10 minutes before the power went out… best of all we’ve got new clothes washing and it’s locked in mid cycle and the brilliant “failure mode” of this stupid machine is to stay locked and there seems to be no way to open it without breaking it.
Infrastructure Package incoming. 🤌🏻
We used to be 15 minutes AFTER a storm passed, we'd lose power. At this point we're the only neighborhood in the area that has above ground wires (we were built in the late 50's and everybody else was 80s and later), so if we do lose power it's not unusual that it's out for a while...
