In Saco? Plenty of them. I didn’t put them in my diary so o can’t tell you the dates.

Maine is a big place with varied geography, infrastructure, and weather. There's no one answer for the whole state. In the Saco area, these factors combine to make outages unpredictable.

One can I say the past 3 winters we’ve had x amount of major storms and have lost power x% and x% for just internet outage. I’m guessing the school system isn’t great in the area

You're quite demanding. You started out asking for people's experience in the area and when they gave you an honest answer about their experience that you didn't like, you decided you require compiled historical data with analysis. Does google not work on your laptop?

It’s literally in my post text numb nuts. Sorry I had to give you a specific example so you could comprehend it. Also your one post you made was a googleable question, oh the irony.

It’s Saco, perhaps unfamiliar with the state but that far south and in a metropolitan area you’ll have fairly light winters as a whole. They keep up on it down south.

Live up near caribou? You would want a generator.

Cheers on doubling down on your approach. The school systems are good enough that folks learn the definition of random. I’ve held power and internet through ice storms and lost it for 2 sunny days because a drunk driver hit a pole. Consider it more susceptible to random events than say, Boston.

Figure out a backup system, and laugh to yourself when you never need it after you buy it.
