Yeah. I don't know the exact numbers but having power out for 9 hours a year is not a freak event where I live in semi-rural New England and my impression is that it isn't for my colleagues in North Carolina either. Branches and trees come down on powerlines. I had a big tree come down in a windstorm a few months back. Lucky it didn't hit anything of mine or my neighbor or might have been a couple days.
