The absolute heck is going on with the total unluckiness of Nepean

2018: Craig Henry tornado, power out for a while.

2022: Merivale destroyed with the derecho, power out there for an extended period of time

2026: Canada Day floods, more rain, and now most of the former city has no power again. Plus Moodie station is damaged

Why is it (either geographically, topographically, environmentally, and also politically/city infrastructure-wise) that Nepean always is the one to suffer the most. I’ve never heard Orleans, Kanata, Downtown, or the south end impacted hugely during these storms. I would not be surprised if people avoid homes in the area due to the proneness for flooding and less reliable grid.

Edit: I forgot about the April 2023 freezing rain, that impacted all areas of Ottawa, but for the areas with the largest outages, it was ALL of bells corners and the entirety of Merivale (again)
