I'm not sure why but my power hasn't ever gone out here at this house. I've only been here a year and a half but the utilities are all underground in this subdivision. That might be the reason why. It's so nice not to have wires strung all over the place.

We've never had a generator. The only time I ever wished we did was in 1997 when a tornado came through our subdivision and the power was out for three days........and it was June.
