Look at what recently occured both in Spain and in Louisiana, despite certainly some healthy effort (and planning one would hope) to keep the grid in those areas running fine under difficult conditions.
Not sure what you mean about Louisiana...?
I mean, we've not nothing like Spain hit us....
A few years ago, I believe it was Hurricane Ida that hit and knocked down all transmission lines into the greater New Orleans area....power was out there about a month, but that's Hurricane damage....catastrophic damage to an area which you expect to lose power for a bit.
Are you referring to that or something else which I don't know about.....we've not had anything hit similar to Spain.
