Power Outages
Although power outages are far from common, they are approximately 2-3 times more likely here in the mountains than they may be in your metropolitan area. This is due to the large number of trees (fall on lines during storms) and the location of cabins usually being more remote than houses in most cities. The power outages, which occur on average several times per year, will typically last 2-3 hours. While the automated system does not allow us to contact a representative at the power company in the event of a power outage, the county does have a helpful map.
