Former sheriff deputy, so have some instincts that won't go away. Have small 4kw genset if needed, part of house wired through transfer switch, so have water, refrig & a few lights avail. Cordless phones need power, so keep one hard wired phone. When it suddenly gets dark it is usually a tree in a summer storm, occasionally an errant driver takes out a power pole. My routine- call power company, computer voice confirms outage by tracing phone number. Get dressed, check out the lines between home & substation in town. If i find the obvious, call again& update info, call SWMBO with new info, wait for crew to come from about 20 miles away. If it looks like going to be out more than couple hours, go back home & start genset. If a car/pole incident, call sheriff & rescue if needed. Longest outage the 10 years i have been here was 12 hours, car took out pole about 1/2 mile away, high voltage lines down. WJ
