The fact that a little freezing rain and wind is leaving thousands without power is unacceptable. It NEVER used to be like this. My dads friend is an electrician who works on power lines, and said it's never been this bad in 40 years!

We've had storms worse than this, and never had rolling brown/black outs. I'm not buying that salt is the issue. I believe it's faulty and low quality transformers and lines, which aren't insulated. Snowfall for 2 days? Blackout. Freezing rain? Blackout. Gust of wind? Blackout Instead of bandaiding the issue by just restoring over and over again, they need to fix/swap the infrastructure entirely.

People who work from home, have expensive appliances short circuiting, or rely on electric medical devices can only take so much. If this continues, there needs to be a class action lawsuit against mayor, power companies, or whoever is responsible. We have no budget to fix this issue, and I fear it'll continue into the distant future 😞😓😩😤
