What is the longest amount of time you have been without power? [I Love Bad Weather]

For me it was 17 hours when a broken tree branch severed a power line during a rainstorm. It was not fixed until the end of the day. I don't live in the hills myself, but this is wildfire country and I know others who've lost power for days due to fires.

But to answer your question it was 5 days. Luckily I have a mini-generator that was big enough to keep food cold and a couple of lights on.

@BiasForAction We have a generator too. It's a good idea to have one for emergencies. I think a lot more people in California have them now due to intentional shut-offs.
