Hope the rest of your week goes better than those tired couple of days, Glitch. It got me thinking about Houston after Beryl, when the peak hit around 2.8 million outages — a number that sounds abstract until one street stays dark while the next one over is back on. What stuck with me is how a 98% restored figure can still leave a lot of people out, since that share was for one utility's customers, not everyone, and some of the last properties simply couldn't take power back yet, as noted in this write-up on Houston's Hurricane Beryl restoration:
