I get occasional power outages. Normally blamed on trees as well. But I live in an odd area where we aren't technically in the city limits of Houston, but it surrounds us. So as an unincorporated area of the county hidden away like that, updates to the services lag.

The bad part it we have well water, not city water, so power outages also knock out the well pumps.

In 2008, Hurricane Ike knocked out the power around Houston for a while.  My parents were lucky, only a few hours. Where I live now was a few days.  I lived about 1.5 miles from where I do now, and was without power or water for 2 weeks.
