Would you really lose power in a tropical storm or a category 1 hurricane?
35-40 mph gusts is enough to cause power outages
Man, the power line system must be bad there. We get 35 to 40 mph gusts here all the time in Sacramento and never lose power. Usually when gusts hit around 55+ is when our power outages start.
The power lines are above ground here in the South, they aren't buried.
