none of the "Utility companies" have much of
a repair capability any more - just enough
crews to take care of minor problems. got rid
of the crews & equipment to pay the stock holders more dividends.
when they have a problem they contract with
other utilities
so they don't get your power restored right away - they say they are working on it
