Seattle area: power outages/safety issues due to wind
Who's affected?
I am too. The winds are howling. It’s scary.
My sleep is affected
MeToo
Haha bury those cables and poles murrrrica
Burying the cables costs a whole lot, doesn't eliminate the chance if brownouts (like caused by flooding) and takes way longer to fix. The electric companies don't even optimize local lines to not be cut, they pass them next to trees on purpose so the power lines will be less visible. Only the high power lines tend to be away from trees as they will stop electricity for too many people.
In most parts of developed Europe and Africa this is not the case. You don't see these third world floating cables everywhere
The onlyv wind around me is coming out my ass and it is a real safety issue for those around me today.
Not me! City life ftw
I am.
