The power goes off here at least once a day and most days several times. If it doesn't go off it seems a little weird. When we first moved here if the power went off everything and everyone stopped what they were doing and we wondered what was wrong and if we should call someone. Nine months later, the electricity can go off and no one even notices. When it does go off it doesn't usually last longer than a few seconds or maybe a couple of minutes.
Yesterday, the power went off and no one really noticed until the backup generator on the TV quit. We waited a few more minutes and I started thinking it had been off longer than usual. An hour went by and it was still off so I started calling around to see what was going on. I found out something with the compound went down and they said it could be another 2-3 hours before it was back on. It ended up being about 5 hours before it came back on. Everything in the fridge and freezer stayed cold so we didn't loose anything.
