How do you lose power with buried power lines?

220 views

I just moved to a new community with buried power lines which gave me a false sense of confidence before the remnants of Ian hit. No luck though – we still lost power last night for several hours. How does that happen? Am I more or less likely to have power go out, and if it does out, does it typically take the same amount of time to restore? Halp.

Being underground could make them more likely to get damaged from flooding or storm surge. As far as repair, it can take longer. Now you have the same issue of power outage but three feet underground.
