You know, this is kinda funny. I lived in the LA area all
my life (25+years) and the longest I've ever had power out
was a couple hours.  This is through major earthquakes, floods, 
torrential rains, etc.  And under normal operation, power never
went down (well, maybe a minute every 5 or 6 years)

This is my 3'rd year here, and we've had at least a days outage
each year.  Is this expected?  Considered normal?
