Reply to comment by tractorchick in In the U.S., Maine has the longest power outages. by Zippykalzoo

I grew up in southern Maine all through the 90s and nobody had generators. I don't ever remember the power being out for more than one day.

So either the situation has deteriorated, or it's always been bad elsewhere but not in the particular area I grew up in.

Oh shit this guy's referencing the worst weather event in modern Maine history like it's commonplace.

The dude literally mentioned the 90s and not remembering the power ever being out for an extended period of time.

Daddy chill.

To be fair not everyone’s experience during 98 was freezing and dark. I lived in Rockland at the time and we got very wet snow but no ice. Power stayed on. I can’t even recall it flickering.

edited for wording. I sounded drunk
