I live in Meredith in a development off of Rt 3. In the 13 years I've been here, we've probably lost power for a total of 6 hours. Seems we are close to the main grid and get quick fixes when the power does go out. I have no generator here.

My other house is in southern NH. We seem to be far off of the main grid and while our neighborhood is all underground utilities, the lines to get to us go through mainy tree heavy streets. We've lost power for 7 day or more stretches at least 5 times in the past 10 years in mostly winter but also with one hurricane. I do have a full house generator there.

Seems that southern NH with its population would have a much better and more protected grid but my wife and kids evacuated to the lake many times when we had no power there and not so much as a flicker of lights up here.
