#1 It takes a week+ to reestablish power after a hurricane in places use to the weather event. That involves bringing in outside crews and teams from out of state. What happens when its widespread enough those teams are busy at home? It takes much longer. Public Utilities are not authorized by state commissioned to maintain 'fire departments' in large numbers because the cost gets passed to the consumers, who of course bitch about it.
