Asking this because my area literally just had a power outage while it’s drizzling rain outside. During the worst storms my area has had we somehow never lose power but during small rainfalls or even the hottest and nicest days of the summer, we lose power. Besides lines being damaged by strong winds, what usually causes power outages?

It could be animals, equipment failure, construction accident, tree limb, or bad driver. Since you said it’s light raining in your area there’s a chance the storm is much more severe in another part of your area. If it takes out a couple transmission lines then that could knock out your power.
