Dominion Electric Outages
I think that I’m on the areas worst power grid ever, because my electricity basically goes out when I sneeze. Even when I rented in N. Arlington I ended up losing power every time the wind blew. Can someone fix this (Dominion Electric?!)? I lost power for almost two days from the storm a week or two ago, and then again for a day from Monday’s storm. Luckily I didn’t have to throw away much food. This is a huge downer because everything fun in my house runs on electricity. Books are alright I guess, but Mariokart Wii is infinitely more fun.
Partly for myself for reference, but I’m sure someone out there has been looking for this…an official outages map and number of people affected straight from the horses mouth:

Maybe it has something to do with the density on the area… lots of trees and power lines close together. I have lived in LoCo for 6 years and have never lost power for more than an hour.
Get an APC for your modem and router so you play MK DS online.

Yeah, i’m pretty sure it has to do with the power lines being worked by all the trees in my area. Either way it sucks. Same deal with the N. Arlington TH - lotsa trees around.
Good idea for MK though!
