Why is Michigans power so bad?
I go back and forth and between Ohio and Michigan every few years and I must say that Michigans power system, especially the Ann Arbor area, is the worst I've ever encountered.
We're currently on day 2 of no power and it's expected to go at least 3 days.
Now. I understand it's a holiday. And obviously everyone's stressed about it. But it's not just this weekend. Since living here for the past 4 years there have routinely been 3 or 4 outages a year. That's insane considering I've never experienced a single outage in Ohio. Not in Toledo, not in Cincinnati and not in rural Ohio either.
But just across the border, not 10 miles from Toledo, I've experienced several.
It truly is bad. And anyone that doesn't think so is just used to it.
ETA: so the consensus here is that they never buried the power lines and probably never will bc it's not profitable. Big sad.
