Uh... it went out for about 45 minutes last Thursday, and it blinked once or twice yesterday.

It's been raining pretty hard for the past week... not for long periods of time, but when it is raining, it's bad. XD

It doesn't go out very often... mostly since it hardly rains here. XD But whenever it DOES rain, it usually goes out at least once.

Usually in summer, but most of the time I'm not at home to see it, and the failures last a few minutes. A month ago we got one, but the power returned in a couple of minutes.

My power doesn't go out often, but when it does, either a lot of appliances are on or it lasts for a while.
just a few weeks ago, the neighbourhood had rolling blackouts, but it was only for a few seconds.
the only time it was really out for a while was when there was a huge thunderstorm and a lot of big trees were blasted from the root.
even that lasted about a few hours.

I don't remember.. I guess, sometime in last year's november.
Some stupid truck hit a light post and the power went out for like.. 15 hours at my neighbourhood. God, EXTREMELY boring. I'm nothing without internet and a micro wave..
The power doesn't go out that often.. But some years ago, the whole country was kinda.. apreensive.. there was a chance of a total failure at the electric sistems. Like, the country would be without light for some months ://
But it didn't happen :B

Before I moved, our power used to go out almost any time it rained!
Though, we were in the middle of nowhere. :\

However, since we've moved into an apartment that's located in civilization... the power seems to stay on through everything.
So, to make it even I voted for "every few weeks".
But, I might be made a liar after I live here for a few more weeks.
