I wonder if there was a timing element to it as well...west coast infrastructure came later and was thus more robust and didn't need to be replaced until it absolutely had to, while east coast infra has already completed a full replacement cycle many decades earlier either for safety or damage. Or @Phil just lives in a tiny suburban bubble and there's the same exact power situations in the same type of semi-rural areas we have over here. Whatever. Guess I should do some work. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The type of trees in the PNW (especially further north) are a big part of it. Massive firs losing limbs or even falling is going to do a lot more damage. 1 Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Our trees have some of the fastest growth rates in the entire world, so even if you trim them they grow right back. And if you cut the trees down entirely, then the alders and bigleaf maples sprout up like weeds and those species will drop branches if you look at them funny. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
