Texan here. I've been having periods of no power since 2am. Usuly They last from 30-45 mins. My parents 15 miles away were without power from 10am-6pm, but have a gas fireplace so they were fine. Two sons in two different towns 20 miles apart, zero outages. Daughter about 15 miles away, rolling outages. Is a nurse at a psych facility and they had power outage for hours.
None of it makes sense. Causes me to use more power than I was before outage because heater has to work harder to warm the place back up after power off
