OK. This is it:
1. I don't live in any of the areas announced, neither anywhere close to them.
2. There hasn't been power in my area for OVER the 4-days stated in the announcement (In case someone decided to add my area to the list).
3. Regular power interruption leading to days IS a common feature, hence an announcement is NOT needed.
WE KNOW!
Glad to know someone, somewhere is not doing their jobs. . .
