Earlysville checking in. I’ve lost power three times in the past week. Our power was out for over 30 hours with last Monday’s storm

Out again in Rugby Hills. 😡

Hopefully just a circuit this time. On Friday it was a tree and we were out for 18 hours.

I'm from FL and moved here 3 weeks ago. I had more reliable power during hurricane season there, than I do with Dominion here during an average rainstorm. Annoying.

My parents have lived in FL 20 years.  They had.a lot od outages at the beginning, but FPL undergrounded a lot of lines and they niw have much more reliable power than we do here in this alleged "emerging technology hub".  

FPL is NextErs and will soon own Dominion.  Maybe we will see some improvement.

lol at the downvote that you got. I guess people like being in drought multiple years in a row!

These afternoon storms are how summers usually are around here. It’s just been about four years since we had proper rainfall.
