Power Outages!

[Anonymous 1]

If you have power why don’t you have internet? I feel like this is obvious and for some reason I can’t figure it out lol

Wouldn't the main power...whatever need to be working in the area for it to work for anyone? A generator for one house isn't going to power the area's lines or however that works.

Sorry, that's my clueless, uninformed guess. Maybe you get what I'm saying?

Internet and power are separate lines, but they often run on the same poles.

I’m in the tri-state area where we have 3 million people that are out of power because of yesterday’s storm. It doesn’t bother me because we have a generator, but I really want my internet back

Anyone else in the same boat?

What tri-state area? My area is called the tri-state area because it's where AZ, NV and CA all meet. But I'm pretty sure that's not what you are talking about.

Just saying "tri-state area" doesn't really indicate anything.

Can you not set up a mobile hotspot through your phone?

The reason why it is taking so long is usually trucks from other areas/states come out to help after a bad storm. But they cannot come now because of the quarantine rule. So you can thank the stupid governors for this rule in the first place but more importantly not exempting them in cases of emergency.

The electric company finished burying everybody's power lines last summer. We have a lot of trees and they're really old so the electric company was spending a lot of money and time restoring power after every storm. We didn't lose any power this time!

That stinks! Hope y'all get power back soon.
