When locals are stealing the equipment from the service vehicles and shooting at them, then yes they will not get power restored in a timely manner.
After the remnant of Hurricane Helene made it to Central Indiana, I lost power in Washington Township for several days. I fled to an AirBnB. I’m sure that we’d have weeks of outages if a storm as powerful as the NWI Derecho came through Indy.
Too much above ground power distribution infrastructure. Not enough tree trimming, nor are efforts to make the infrastructure itself more resilient happening fast enough. Our ‘lovely’ for-profit electricity utilities funnel tons of money back to shareholders rather than invest in addressing these issues as quickly as they should.
