How long can you be without electricity?

You never know how long the electricity will be off. Whether it’s due to severe weather or a blown transformer, it could be a few hours or several days before your power is restored. According to a report issued by the Executive Office of the President and published at energy.gov:

“Severe weather is the single leading cause of power outages in the United States. Outages caused by severe weather such as thunderstorms, hurricanes and blizzards account for 58 percent of outages observed since 2002 and 87 percent of outages affecting 50,000 or more customers (U.S. DOE, Form OE-417). In all, 679 widespread outages occurred between 2003 and 2012 due to severe weather. Furthermore, the incidence of both major power outages and severe weather is increasing. Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration show that weather-related outages have increased significantly since 1992.” +
