1. Did lines go down with the storm ? Or was it something bigger?

If it went down due to a storm, it’s usually because they have above ground lines. Most of those outages will be hours. Are you saying people are dying from this storm due to heat?

Edit. I read a few articles on it. It was mostly high wind. If you are saying bury all lines?? That’s usually cost prohibitive anywhere and has other issues.
