Wow, that was fast. I lose power all the time--there's a transformer on a pole a couple of blocks away that seems to give up the ghost on whim. It's only a few hours when that happens, but after a bad storm it's a day or so. It's frustrating, because only the few blocks around me lose power, while all around us people have lights. After TS Isabel we were out for two days while no one around us lost power at all.
