In Florida we lose power during storms very regularly. After one particularly bad hurricane we lost power for weeks.

Weeks? That's fucking insane. A neighbourhood might lose power for a few hours during a major storm up here but I can't think of the last time it was a day. I was probably a kid, 30 years ago.
